Review by Karen King

The album "The Knell of Mourning" by Caithness is a masterpiece of atmospheric black metal that takes the listener on a journey through dark and haunting soundscapes. From the opening track "The Last Breath" to the closing notes of "The Knell of Mourning", the album is a tour de force of atmospheric intensity that is sure to leave a lasting impression on any listener.

Caithness has crafted an album that is both musically complex and emotionally powerful. The band's use of intricate guitar work, haunting keyboards, and thunderous drums creates a dense and immersive soundscape that is both beautiful and terrifying. The vocals, which range from guttural growls to haunting clean singing, add an additional layer of complexity to the music.

"The Knell of Mourning" is an album that demands to be listened to in its entirety. Each track flows seamlessly into the next, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience. The album's themes of loss, grief, and mourning are palpable throughout, and the music itself is a cathartic release of emotion.
