De Oppresso Liber isn't as musical as some of the European bands that are considered symphonic black metal; Sothis don't have the extreme vocals/clean vocals contrast (all of the lead vocals on this album are a stereotypical black metal rasp), and they don't offer the really lush melodies that some of Europe's symphonic black metal bands have favored. Nonetheless, keyboards are used, and there is definitely an atmospheric element on blistering tracks such as "Lair of the Benighted," "Beneath a Black Boiling Sky," "The Cold Connection," and "Lunar Descent. De Oppresso Liber won't go down in history as one of 2008's essential black metal releases, but it is still a noteworthy, albeit derivative, example of the fact that black metal doesn't have to be from Europe to be legitimate.
