Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Denver-based quartet expands their unique synthesis of blistering black metal and grim, Western Americana. Thematic elements focus deeply on the bloody, violent expansion of the American frontier, debunking romanticized myths of the Wild West. Utilizing mournful clean vocals, twangy acoustic interludes, and sweeping post-metal riffs, the record acts as a cinematic, historically grounded epic.
