Review by Anna Green

Empty Visions by Mistake: A Bleak, Beautiful Journey into Black Metal’s Depths Alright, so let’s talk about Empty Visions, the 2012 album by Mistake. If you’re into raw, unfiltered black metal with a side of existential dread, this is your jam. Hailing from Ukraine and released under Depressive Illusions Records, this record hits hard—not just sonically but emotionally too. It’s not perfect, but that’s kinda the point. The album kicks off with “My Suffering Perpetua,” and holy crap, it sets the tone immediately. The guitars are icy, the drums pummel like hail on a tin roof, and the vocals? Pure anguish. This track sticks with me because it feels like staring into an abyss—one that stares right back. There’s no sugarcoating here; it’s bleak as hell, but there’s something oddly cathartic about it. Like, yeah, life sucks sometimes, but at least someone gets it. Then there’s “This Bloody Rope,” which slaps in a different way. It’s slower, more deliberate, almost like a funeral march for hope itself. But weirdly enough, it’s kinda beautiful? I think it’s the way the melodies weave through all the chaos—it’s haunting without being over-the-top dramatic. Plus, the title alone gives me chills every time I hear it. Other tracks like “Empty Visions And Self Loathing” and “An Exit Through Bleak Portals” keep the vibe going strong, though they don’t hit quite as hard as those first two. Still, the whole thing flows together nicely, creating this oppressive yet immersive atmosphere that fans of the genre will eat up. What makes Empty Visions stand out isn’t necessarily innovation—it’s how genuine it feels. You can tell these dudes weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they were just pouring their souls (and probably some vodka) into this project. And honestly? That honesty shines through. So yeah, if you’re looking for happy-go-lucky tunes or technical wizardry, this ain’t it. But if you wanna feel like you’ve been punched in the gut while simultaneously finding comfort in shared misery, give Empty Visions a spin. Oh, and one last random thought: listening to this album somehow made me crave borscht. No clue why. Maybe because it’s Ukrainian? Idk, food for thought, I guess.
