From the very beginning in 2008 POS proved their innovation and matureness. The ethereal female vocals create a shard contrast with the furious guitars and powerful drums. They create a gloomy atmosphere and a great sense of slowliness evolving step by step with surging, reaching it’s climax as an overwhelming maelstrom.
