Sheidim’s music is heavy and full of darkness, injecting streaks of colour through the blackened melodies that burn with intensity and passion, as does the band’s music as a whole.
Shrines of the Void is powerfully recorded and reeks of the darkest, grimmest black metal. The band have captured the aura of the style with a pristine production that takes nothing away from the music. The songs on this album are exemplars of the style and thoroughly enjoyable because of it.
The music is well-written and the band vary their performances with plenty of different speeds and moods. Some of the extended guitar leads/solos are particularly enjoyable.
The singer’s delivery is a shade deeper than that of some similar bands, and his malevolent incantations are a fitting accompaniment to the razorblade riffs and frosted grooves.
