Impavida are the new face of depressive black metal in the glorified German underground. Thankfully, this breed of depressive music comes in a new shape, leaving behind all the down trodden notions of what this sub-genre consists of. Though there may be some hint of traditional elements which have seen the depressive sub-genre gain notoriety and an ill received public opinion, Impavida strike me as different. There is a fresh sound to their decaying souls, ridden to the depths of despair by the depression that sinks into our skin through the waves of sorrowful soundscapes. The metaphorical title for this debut, Eerie Sceneries is apt in its expression to the listener of what is about to follow during its course. The title acts as a suggestive tool, warning the listener that one must be headstrong upon approaching the creepy atmospherics that Impavida hold over the audience. The most striking element of this debut is, of course, the atmospherics and soundscapes which are pivotally developed throughout each song that participates on the record. Each breath much maligned with connotations of sadness and sorrow is a plague upon the houses of the masses who proceed to buy into this form and content. There are monotonous moments, but Impavida have a habit of subjected their listener to moments of the sublime too, when the guitars take their rampant stance as the leading instrument, when the bass terrifies its audience with its low and dreary soundscapes of anguish and when the keys and programming swirl and twirl like the stench of death in the air.
