Skepticism uses nothing except the desolate landscapes of Finland to inspire its art. As you draw in these thunderous sounds, you will wonder whether this is even music at all, or whether it is the voice of the ancient evergreens that have seen the passing of two hundred winters, or the very soul of the mountains speaking from across the aeons. Skepticism’s magnificent compositions will transport you to far away lands. They are like sitting alone in a gothic cathedral and hearing nothing but the echo of your own heartbeat resonate off the masonry walls. And it is only in this supreme silence that you become aware that there is an invisible force that binds all of existence together.A great composer once said that the essence of music is in the silence between the notes that are played. Skepticism exemplifies this balance of opposites. Long intervals of silence can be excruciating to a listener, but they are pierced by deliberately long and massive guitar notes and drums that approach the pace of a funeral dirge. Every note is played to its conclusion before the next note begins. A pipe organ is used to great effectiveness in most of the songs. Unlike Bach’s colorful and complex arrangements, this organ wraps each piece in an icy shroud. The drummer in this band cannot be compared to any other – enough said. And the vocals… never before has a voice so successfully become an instrument in and of itself.Skepticism will surely leave you numb, but the emptiness will slowly fade to tranquility and awe.“The forest is around meIn silence the pines stand tallWith the wind they whisper their talesAs their wisdom is everdarkgreen.”' -Atides33
