Under the foreveryoung sky is quite generic atmospheric black metal album. Nothing new, nothing clever but nothing worse or bad either. Tangorodream is apparently a one man's project, a thing that should not be heardable thought a record. Boring drum machine drums and quite self-evident production are very typical for these projects, and this one's no exception.

Under the foreveryoung sky is divided into two parts. The first part is very Burzum influenced, yet with much better musicianship. The second part is mutually more aggressive and brutal.

Under the foreveryoung sky has promises a lot with it's fancy layout, but after few seconds of the beginning of the Castle of the Immortal Spirits the one-man band sound scape starts to annoy. Songs are good but when the production is this bad it's really hard to concentrate to the music.

Best parts of Under the foreveryoung sky is ultimately in the first part of the album. Songs like Of times and Aehelia - Wilderness of Icy Flame are obviously composed by a genius and they would be classics with a little better production. Of Times incorporates some classical (Bach) influenced melodies and counterpoints giving this record some good (and very un-black metallish) hooks, and Aehelia - Wilderness of Icy Flame is a plain masterpiece in it's epic atmosphere. By the way, Wanderer Dragonheart seem to have taken interesting viewpoint: Icy flame acting wild just surpasses my imagination!

The second part of the album consist of four typical black metal songs, and a cover of Enthroned's Throne of Purgatory. No killer riffs, no interesting choruses, just plain typical black metal with lo-fi-production (and that annoying drum-machine).

It's hard to suggest this record to anyone in these days when new and better black metal albums are published daily. Under the foreveryoung sky is not a bad album, it's just boring.
