Ikuinen Kaamos are from Finland and play melodic death metal. This freely available EP has three tracks. The title track and "Your Gallows" are both very derivative of Opeth, though they are quite well done. The last track, the 12-minute "The Absence", is more original, reminding me a little of Novembre's Classica. Given that I like both Novembre and Opeth, it should come as no surprise that I like these guys too. The playing is very solid and the production is crystal clear -- this is a top-quality product all around. I'll have to check out their previous release, The Forlorn, and I'll eagerly wait their next recording. With a little more originality, they could be great.
