"Shadows Over The Cosmos" é o segundo longa-duração deste projecto, one-man band que saiu da mente de Ryan, e que sucede a "Megaliths Of The Abyss" lançado no início de 2009.
E o que temos nesta nova proposta é a continuação da exploração do filão funeral doom de tons mais sinfónicos, só que a fórmula surge um pouco mais refinada, sem significativas alterações estruturais dos temas, que continuam bem longos, à excepção de "The Hidden Sun", de cariz mais ambiental, que mal chega aos cinco minutos de duração e que serve de interlúdio/ponte entre "Wanderer Of The Wastes" e "Lord Of The Black Gulf".
Os temas são dominados pelos teclados e pelos ritmos ultra-lentos, sobre os quais assentam alguns leads de guitarra que dão um toque mais etéreo às composições e, ao mesmo tempo, angustiante a que se junta uma voz bem profunda e gutural que, a espaços, é entre-cortada por alguns breves sussurros, conferindo um tom mais negro às músicas.
De entre o que aqui se pode ouvir, há um claro destaque para o tema que abre este álbum, "The Primordial Gloom"; sem conter algo de abismal ou revolucionário do ponto de vista musical, acaba por ser o melhor exemplo da cristalização da fórmula utilizada por Ryan para este projecto, onde existe uma maior harmonia entre todas as partes, acabando por arrastar-se nos 45 minutos seguintes, onde existem alguns momentos repetidos até à exaustão e que não favorecem a saúde destes temas.
Mais uma vez, não existiu qualquer tipo de pudor em evidenciar que as principais referências que subjazem a este caminho funéreo são os Skepticism, os Shape Of Despair e os Thergothon.
No fundo, esta segunda proposta, que nos chega pela mão da Solitude Productions, é substancialmente superior à apresentada no registo de estreia, mas ainda será necessário limar algumas arestas para que as composições atinjam novas dimensões e se tornem referências neste segmento musical. Apesar disso, acaba por ser dos trabalhos mais válidos neste adiantado ano. (14/20)

"Shadows Over The Cosmos" is the second full-length of this project, an one-man band that went out from the mind of Ryan, and it succeeds "Megaliths Of The Abyss", released in the beginning of 2009.
And what we have in this new proposal is the continuation of the exploration of the funeral doom lead with more symphonic tones, but now the formula appears a little more refined, without significant structural alterations on the songs, which are still quite long, with the exception of "The Hidden Sun", an ambient track, which only arrives to five minutes of duration and which serves of interlude/bridge between " Wanderer Of The Wastes " and " Lord Of The Black Gulf ".
All the themes are dominated by keyboards and ultra-slow rhythms, on which there settle some leads of guitar that give a more ethereal touch to the compositions and, at the same time, distressing the one that gathers a quite deep and guttural voice that, to spaces, is interspersed by some short whispers, giving a more black tone to the musics.
Between what is possible to ear here, the theme that opens this album, "The Primordial Gloom", it’s the one that catch your attention at the first minute; without containing anything of abysmal or revolutionary from the musical point of view, it is the best example of the crystallization of the formula used by Ryan, again, for this project, where there is a bigger harmony between all the parts, dragging oneself again in 45 next minutes, where there are some moments repeated even to the exhaustion and what do not favor the health of those remaining songs.
Again, there was not any type of bashfulness in showing up that the principal references that sublie on this funereal path are Skepticism, Shape Of Despair and Thergothon.
Summarizing, this second proposal, which comes out by the hand of Solitude Productions, is largely superior to the presented one in 2008, but it will be still necessary to file some edges so that the compositions reach new dimensions and so that they make references into this musical segment. Nevertheless, it is again of the most valid works in this advanced year. (14/20)
