Heh, thank you... I was aiming for a tribute to Troy. We (the staff/elite) miss him a lot and I'm sure he would have reviewed this if he was around.  |

Maybe you do, but WE don't 
I hadn't even noticed that he's away  |

Marcel, if you're not joking then you're on an island with that opinion 
Mr Doc, awesome review! I've heard the first few tracks and was completely mesmerized. I can see how more variety could be helpful but also how it's wonderful for those seeking "trance-friendly" BM. You put it perfectly when you say, "Soft black velvet through your ears and a bassy wall of sound that washes through your veins."

Shit I think just about everyone on the site does...except for Marcel of course! |

I might give this more of a chance.
On the listen to a few yt tracks, it sounded like Arizmenda, but less dynamic/chaotic. |

I'm off course using a very vague form of "variety". Specially since we are talking about ambient black metal, a subgenre that needs repetition. I'm just saying that if the first and last track played a little more with the tempos and keyboards like the middle tracks, This would have got a couple of more points easily.

Fuck man, I KNEW there was a band this stuff reminded me of! You are correct, this gave me a good Arizmenda vibe and now I kind of wish to add that in my review since I know a couple of folks who would be more interested in listening to this because of that reference. |

You might like it but like I said to Joe, I guarantee nothing But yeah, I did feel some reference to Arizmenda in the three middle tracks. Specially during the moments when it was fast-paced and the keyboards playing some melodies in the background. |

Yeah, it's similar. I really, really loved Arizmenda's first release though, so this didnt quite do it for me just from the yt sampling. Not enough clarity or riffing. Basically as you said in your review though, could use a bit more variation, then it'd be golden. |

Where's Troy Gone?
I'm sorry to inform you...
What the hell are u talking about  He is asking about the staff of Metal Storm Troy Killjoy, a Canadian. Not the actor in Austria.
The actor was Canadian born I believe, so the mix-up is understandable. |

This is far more Ambient than Arizmenda though... So I view those two things as positive. I just felt a vibe of Arizmenda's music... but they clearly aren't playing the same thing anyways. You should give it a another try in their bandcamp someday.
Compared to most ambient BM bands nowdays that use far too much keyboards, Yayla are putting more emphasis on guitars instead and there's a lot more riffing compared to those bands. |

Yeah, it's pretty nice stuff. I haven't heard it that much since the review got published but I still stand by my review. Also yeah... both artworks have a similar vibe. Tell me what you think about it after you properly check it out. |
