I went from waiting years in between Paysage releases to having more than I know what to do with and I don?t know how to feel

Harsh and wintry, but Project:Paysage took a bit different direction where Wintherr's most most punkiest riffs (early Carpathian Forest influences?) have been covered by freezing cold and thick snow.

This is for you if you enjoy listening to the same boring, basic and badly produced progressions/riffs for a whopping 70 minutes.

Paysage does as Paysage is, which can be too much of the same over and over. It has its audience and its charm, undeniably. I am not in the state of mind patient enough for this, I suppose.

Where Im Wald was the PdH formula applied a little too much for a little too long, this one has the merit of wanting to change things whilst remaining at a reasonable runtime. The most blatant change is of course the tempo, with Geister being a lot slower than its predecessors (or most of them anyway). The most blatant is 9, which to me echoes Welt Aus Weis but a lot slower... And showing how much it doesn't work for me. Slower bm can be great to achieve a sense of evil and almost goth (where PdH is usually more about dem blizzards, which we still get a fair bit of here) say a la Blut Aus Nord, but the album here rarely achieves this. Maybe some moments of 2-3 or 8 could be good examples. But for the most part it just makes the tracks less engaging to me, and by 3 it was already a bit of a blur tbh. 5 is a bit faster-aced and does feel more like regular PdH, and in retrospect 1 might do too. The PdH identity is further (strongly) reinforced by the windy, noisy outro track - though it feels a little more industrial than usual - which is a welcome addition to strengthen the atmosphere. However, it might be becayse I was working at the same time and not paying huge amounts of attention to it, but the album rather feels like the upper side of an okay experience rather than an amazing experience such as some of the previous PdH offerings. 3.5

Arguably more approachable than last year's Im Wald, Geister brings to mind icy winds thanks to its riff-centric approach, but it seems Wintherr does not want to take us into millennial, frozen forests this time. This stylistic change is not badly done - absolutely not - but the monumental scope of Im Wald represents what I'm craving in terms of black metal.

Glorious, trance inducing, harsh, I absolutely appreciate this work. One of the best blends of old and new out there.
