Label: Northern Silence Productions

Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

Format: CD

Description:

Zaklínání poslední zimy (“Summoning the Last Winter”) is a desolate and immersive offering from Isen, where black metal unfolds as ritualized solitude and frozen contemplation. The album feels like a final calling — winter not as season, but as state of being invoked deliberately and without return.

Glacial tremolo melodies drift across wide, enveloping soundscapes, guided by steady, restrained drumming that favors patience over urgency. Vocals appear distant and weatherworn, often submerged within reverb, reinforcing the sense of isolation and cold immensity. The production emphasizes space and repetition, allowing frost and silence to accumulate slowly.

Rather than aggression, Zaklínání poslední zimy draws its power from endurance. Black metal here becomes incantation — sound used to summon stillness, where movement slows and warmth is abandoned by choice. Each track feels like a step deeper into winter’s final domain.
