Unforgiving Landscapes was released by Wolves And Vibrancy Records and Breathe Plastic Records in May 2017 and was widely recognized as an outstanding release. Dante DuVall described the album for Doom-Metal.com as a “climax of sad music” that “simply has to be heard”. The album is also described as “a hypnotic journey through the mercilessly darkest landscapes” and “meditative”. It is "flawless" and transports the "immeasurable weight of loneliness." The band is recorded as particularly independent, without any clear genre allocation. Cody Davis describes the music for Metal Injection as "a dark but ethereal mixture" in the spectrum of Doom Metal .

The music of Idre is described as "extremely dark post metal, in which the atmosphere is clearly the focus" as well as the webzine Doom-Metal.com , the music of Idre is an atmospheric mixture of post-metal and funeral doom with further influences from shoegazing , post-rock and drone doom . The pieces followed "a dreamy, mantra-like [structure] that was reinforced by the clear male vocals". For a classifying comparison see Neurosis , Om , Godspeed You! Black Emperor , King Woman and Fvnerals . Despite such cross-references, Idre's style is "completely original and difficult to categorize". In his Funeral Friday column, written for the webzine Metal Injection, Cody Davis describes the music as corresponding to Funeral Doom on an atmospheric level. Here the band musically present a genre-independent atmospheric Doom Metal that draws on elements from folk music and Gothic rock .
"Droning, single-note riffs carry a touch of a twang. The rhythm section burrows beneath the dirt with a booming drill of drums and bass. Airy vocals drift and sway throughout the mix. It all coalesces in a gloomy yet ethereal blend of doom. "
“Roaring one-note riffs exude a touch of twang . The rhythm section digs itself into the dirt with a hammering march of drums and bass. Airy vocals float and swim through this mixture and all of this merges into a dark but ethereal form of Doom Metal. "
