I liked Aura's production with the hard hitting drums and heaviest flute in recorded history :wink: though the guitar riffs seemed a little buried. This album has gotten a better response production wise from what I've seen on metal-archives. Everything seems more balanced, the symphonic stuff is often at the forefront still but not so overbearing, it also gives way more often for the guitars to take the lead, and the drums have been dialed back quite a bit. The riffs are still pretty par for the course of atmospheric black metal but are more discernable than a good chunk of Aura. Though Aura still had a fair share of discernable riffs as far as I could hear, though they weren't often in the forefront.
Edit: I've heard that the later tracks on Guardians is where it really shines. I'm listening to Autumn Rain now on bandcamp and it's my favourite so far, so there may be truth to this. Here's to hoping it gets even better!
