A lot of epic and theatrical sounding black metal has to navigate the possibility of sacrificing some of it's vitriolic edge for the sake of creating a soaring atmosphere, or worse still it runs the risk of having a somewhat sterilised and cleaner quality of sound. Whilst neither is inherently a bad thing, it's a real treat to hear an album so simultaneously majestic and decrepit. Track four is fucking great! Ben Harris
Some of the best raw black metal I’ve heard in a while. So many infectious riffs it’s absurd. Easily my favorite release from lamp of Murmuur. HyperboreanFrost
