I like and appreciate what Dark Abyss is attempting; however, his biggest failing seem to be the tools at his disposal. The synths sound like they come straight from a Casio, and lies midway between Burzum's incarceration era meanderings and the creepy MIDI file atmosphere of the very first "Doom" game. I don't have a problem with the underlying melodies, which are simplistic in true black fashion -- just with the realization thereof. In time and with better tools, Dark Abyss could rival black symphonic masters Profanum.
