Vennart — „In The Dead, Dead Wood“ (Nov. 6, 2020)
Ξ★ „In The Dead, Dead Wood“ je hluboce dojemné album, je temné a atmosférické, ale se silnými záblesky naděje a osvícení. Dostanete se hlouběji do mysli tvůrce, který uchopí dynamickou vznešenost svých dřívějších projektů a staví na zdatnosti své sólové tvorby. Soudržně je to tak ucelený a poutavý set, který pro se zdá být doposud nejlepší albem Vennart. Určitě jsme ještě nevyšli ze stínu lesa, ale s tímto albem, který nás drží za ruku, zde máme něco poctivého, mocného a opravdu krásného: jako stalker nás provede na druhou stranu. Poslechněte si album od „rychlého a vitálního kytaristy.“
