The fourth album from this band from Norway.
The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.
A guest added guitar solos on the final three albums.
I have yet to be impressed by this band. This band is highly rated but their three first albums did nothing for me.
The band has got rid of their goth rock and has gone for a more Anathema version of alternative metal. That also means a lot of Pink Floyd influences.
The music on the seventy minutes long Pure is much more harder than any alternative metal album from Anathema. Neither is the music floating around in the space as on a Pink Floyd album.
In The Woods cannot help themselves from being an extreme metal band too. Their roots in black and death metal shines through this album.
The music has a mix of decent and good pieces. The vocals is good. Some of the extreme metal stuff falls a bit flat on it's face.
This is their finest album so far. It is still not an album I can embrace.
2.5 points
