UMUR
"Expulse" is the 2nd full-length studio album by Russian black metal act Stielas Storhett. The album was released in September 2011 by Code666. Stielas Storhett is a one-man project created by Damien T.G who plays all instruments and sings all vocals on the album.

Many one-man black metal projects produce filthy and raw lo-fi recorded releases but that can´t be said about Stielas Storhett or the music on "Expulse". The music on "Expulse" is of a progressive and epic black metal nature. There are several acoustic prog folky parts on the album. The kind of acoustic parts that I associate with Opeth. So it´s not like it hasn´t been done before, but this part of Stielas Storhett´s music really works well. The sterile and clear sound production takes away from the atmosphere of the album though and I think a more raw and organic sound production would have done the music more favours.

"Expulse" is all in all a quite intriguing album by Stielas Storhett and I can see the drawing of future greatness, but it´s not a flawless release and I imagine that a full band and the above mentioned more organic production could have done the trick. Still we´re talking a professional, well played and interesting semi-progressive and epic black metal album. A 3.5 star rating is warranted.
