As hinted at on Omnio, Norway's In The Woods has taken yet another step away from metal. First, they have broken with black metal entirely, and secondly, they have perhaps left the genre altogether in order to create a dark, swirling, heavy rock music all their own. Utilizing many of the same tactics they pioneered on Omnio, such as the use of a full string quartet alongside the band, In the Woods have taken further liberties in their instrumentation: sitars, gongs, drum loops, and keyboard programming, as well as a pedal steel guitar have been incorporated into their sound. On paper it sounds dreadful, in the grooves it is positively seductive and powerful…
Imagine 200+ guys locked in a Vegas ballroom. Then at one point, mysteriously almost a third of them gets out of their chairs. practically stampede to the back of the room. pull out their credit cards. and pre-order a program worth at least $3000. Incredibly they did this WITHOUT being pitched. Without being “sold”. How was this possible, you wonder? No, I didn’t trick them. I didn’t hypnotize them either. Over 50 fortunate guys bought an at the time, unreleased program called Power Influence. You can use Power Influence with anything and anyone.
