II

Deep Space Destructors are a Finnish space rock band with a few good tunes to share. This second outing is a wonderful trip through a take on space indebted to 35007 and some of the mores of classic rock, with singing reminiscent of Alice in Chains, only often leaning towards sounding like the vocals of a doom metal band. "Beneath The Black Star" starts off by nicely showing off their unique take on this group of influences, with a willingness to go from mellow and even atmospheric to somewhat darker and harder riffs. Each track hence then mixes up the style at least a bit, with "Spacy Phantasy" eschewing their mellow side, and the concluding track, "Sykli", leaving behind their usual English lyrics to break out their native Finnish. All in all an excellent album, with the band putting out great work early in their career. Recommended.
