Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Minnesota-based duo perfects their highly unique 'castle metal' aesthetic on their masterful third album. The record brilliantly interpolates traditional medieval harp compositions (performed by Vicente La Camera Iglesias) into triumphant, highly melodic black metal. It is an incredibly evocative, joyous celebration of ancient fantasy and romanticized antiquity.
