Like clockwork, every year Cold Meat Industry salutes a debutant that seems to have been spoonfed with SPK and Dead Can Dance. Think back, think of Desiderii Marginis, Sephiroth, and Coph Nia. And let there be no misunderstanding, this year's find Letum adheres to this tradition as well. Tranquil soundscapes paired with gothic chorals and nature sounds turns this album into an offering that is certain to appeal to fans of the Raison d'Etre and Ildfrost side of the CMI discography. What Letum may sacrifice in originality, they more than well compensate in commitment for the cause: to maintain Sweden's reputation as the foremost purveyor of top notch dark ambience.
