Hiemal's album Last Sunset Before The Polar Night is a hauntingly beautiful and atmospheric journey through the depths of winter. The album is a masterful blend of ambient textures, ethereal melodies, and icy soundscapes that transport the listener to a frozen landscape.
From the opening track "Frostbite," with its pulsing rhythms and otherworldly drones, to the closing notes of "Winter's Embrace," the album immerses the listener in a world of snow and ice. The use of field recordings, such as the sound of cracking ice and howling winds, adds to the sense of being in a remote and desolate landscape.
The album's standout track, "Aurora Borealis," captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the northern lights with its shimmering synths and delicate piano melodies. Other tracks such as "Frozen Tundra" and "Whiteout" are equally mesmerizing, with their icy textures and haunting melodies.
