This fourth album by the consistent Dark duo demonstrates that you can have good and sufficient ideas for songs - even on a Dark Metal release, even in 2010. Schwadorf and Konstanz, who both play several instruments and sing, have created a lot of fascinating, saturnine compositions pulsating with dramatic melancholy. The Germans manage to intertwine this dark sound vortex with crushing Doom parts, leaving the listener overwhelmed and intoxicated. Only very few bands of this genre are able to deliver that kind of theatrical epic without bathos, but The Vision Bleak are an epitome of that difficult style, accomplishing their mission successfully.
