Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second and final studio album released prior to the Australian duo's lengthy disbandment, this record is widely regarded as a pinnacle of Depressive Suicidal Black Metal (DSBM). Intertwining agonizing, shrieked vocals with incredibly gorgeous, sweeping keyboard melodies and mournful acoustic interludes, the band achieved a profoundly cathartic balance of extreme aggression and shoegaze beauty.
