Album Notes & Community Reviews

Functioning as a foundational release for the United States black metal movement, Akhenaten's debut operates entirely outside of standard studio production. The record features aggressively lo-fi, treble-heavy distortion and unrelenting blast beats, prioritizing misanthropic philosophy and raw, unpolished atmosphere over technicality.
