Recorded at Peter Tägtgren's Abyss Studios, this album marks ICS Vortex's vocal debut for the band, heavily utilizing his soaring, operatic clean singing. The record masterfully blends their atmospheric black metal roots with swirling analog synthesizers and increasingly complex, 1970s-inspired progressive rock structures.
