Album Notes & Community Reviews

For their second studio album, the Anglo-Norwegian extreme metal project enlisted the vocal talents of Kvohst, crafting a highly theatrical and avant-garde approach to black metal. The intricate, shifting riffs and clean-to-harsh vocal dynamics demonstrate a strong progressive inclination. It garnered critical acclaim and a Spellemannprisen nomination, highlighting its sophisticated and dissonant sound.
