Peccatum consists of Ihsahn from Emperor, his wife Ihriel,
her brother Lord PZ from Source Of Tide and, for this recording at least, the
percussionist Per Eriksen. I am not that familiar with the music of Source Of
Tide but I can tell you that this wounds no way near Emperor which is a good
thing since it would otherwise be rather unnecessary to create a new band and
I doubt Samoth would be very happy in that case. Peccatum is much more
technical metal than Emperor and at times even a little chaotic. Since we have
three vocalists and two keyboard players in the band they rely less on the
guitars than most other metal bands but thanks to Ihsahn they still have their
fair share of heavy riffing. The music of Peccatum is a mix of black metal,
gothic music and some classical influences, especially with the prominent
keyboards. Ihriel doesn't have the most beautiful or powerful vocals in the
world but they are still very original and fits into the musical landscape
very well. The only thing that could have been a bit better on this album is
the production although it is not bad. Ihsahn has succeeded in creating a new
band distinctly different from all others and this is some very interesting
music.
