Album Notes & Community Reviews

The second full-length from Malefic's highly influential one-man black metal project solidifies the USBM movement's darkest tendencies. The album is incredibly dense and raw, employing dissonant guitar layers and haunting synthesizer chords to create a profoundly depressive, lo-fi, and freezing nocturnal atmosphere.
