Hail Spirit Noir - Pneuma

Their first and only release, Hail Spirit Noir is an incredibly strange album. It combines the Greek black metal sound (think Rotting Christ and Necromantia in terms of "higher" guitars, etc) with unconventional song structures and keyboard parts that sound more like they belong in a doom metal album than here. Strangely enough though, it all works. It's an incredibly haunting and atmospheric album, and I wouldn't recommend it to black metal fans unless you're up for something strange. There's not a whole lot to say about this album other than that: I've included a YouTube video below which captures the band's sound/imagery quite well. Enjoy!
