Arch traditionalists Merrimack have returned with _Of Grace And
Gravity_ and as one should expect it does not veer far from their
previously laid out path. As I previously said it's hardly modern or
innovative, but it's well constructed and played so if you like
traditional black metal where you pretty much know what you're getting
there is nothing to complain about here. That said they keep a varied
tempo across the songs which results in seven songs that are fairly
distinct, and not a muddle where I cannot tell where one song ends and
the next begins. Simple and clean, and sometimes that is all one
needs.
