Review by Daniel for Petrychor - Dryad (2010)

This is a very rough attempt at atmospheric black metal with acoustic interludes. The acoustic guitar stuff is well performed & sounds quite nice but the black metal sections are very amateurish indeed. The production is no better than a rehearsal tape & the drum machines sound overly mechanical (especially on the opening track "Dryad (I Make My Home)"). There is no real flow between the clean & intense parts. They're just pasted together. A very average release.
