Album Notes & Community Reviews

Infamous for utilizing a highly unorthodox dual-bass-guitar lineup, the Finnish group injected a massive dose of groove into the extreme metal underground. The record successfully bridges menacing, occult-driven black metal aesthetics with the rhythmic swagger and driving, fuzz-heavy riffs of classic heavy metal and traditional doom.

Genres
