The rest of the music works as an elegant counterpoint to the guitar melodies; the incredibly simple drum programming is absolutely an asset to the music. Almost wholly devoid of fills or any sort of frills or elaborations on the most basic rhythms, it simply provides a primal, pulsing drone to propel the riffs forward. Similarly, the bass is audible but doesn't intrude on the guitars, providing root note support to help fill out what's otherwise fairly thin production. Then there's the vocals, a wonderfully unhinged post-Vikernes shout/shriek that's as much a trademark of the project as the unbelievable riffs. Every one of these elements works together to create an experience almost unparalleled in black metal today. It's almost unbelievable that such simple elements can still be woven together to make music so endlessly gripping, but Lutomysl proves that, thousands of black metal records after the inception of the genre, it can be done.
