Album Notes & Community Reviews
The Japanese avant-garde extreme metal pioneers significantly slowed their tempos for their sophomore release, heavily incorporating sprawling, doom-laden riffs and extensive classical orchestration. The incredibly ambitious compositions frequently exceed the eight-minute mark, heavily utilizing piano, violin, and traditional Japanese instrumentation alongside Mirai Kawashima's raspy shrieks. It stands as a remarkably sophisticated, highly progressive anomaly within the mid-90s black metal underground.
