Album Notes & Community Reviews
Functioning as a hidden gem of the 1990s Norwegian black metal scene, this debut features members of Myrkskog and Limbonic Art. The album utilizes sweeping, interstellar synthesizer melodies heavily layered over aggressive blast beats, creating an intensely cold, cosmic atmosphere that perfectly epitomizes the symphonic black metal movement.
