Album Notes & Community Reviews

Coining the term 'red music with black edges' to describe their sound, the highly eccentric Norwegian duo's debut album is a radical deconstruction of extreme metal. The record fiercely balances traditional blast beats and harsh vocals with clean singing, complex progressive structures, and deeply philosophical, poetic lyricism.
