Angry Metal Guy

Austere manages to make Beneath the Threshold sound fresh and vigorous without forsaking the key tenets of misery and melancholy. While not perfect with a few issues of flow and solidarity, it nonetheless feels like a new chapter for the band.

Not very much black metal, instrumentally sometimes sound more like post bmd katatonia, but its good, saw them live playing some songs from this album

While the instrumentals are strong overall, the album suffers from poor mixing, which holds it back.

This is what Corrosion of Hearts should've been, a fresh start with an altered sound to try and branch out, and it worked. While they keep the core components of what made Austere Austere, the band found a good way to build off of that and differ from their usual, more ambience-based sound to one focused on melodies and "traditional" black metal structure
