The Ukrainian collective's third output significantly shortens their expansive track lengths to deliver a more aggressive, riff-driven black metal assault. Lyrically focused on Taras Shevchenko's epic poem regarding the 1768 peasant rebellion, the music successfully integrates harsh metallic elements with distinct Eastern European acoustic interludes.
