Album Notes & Community Reviews

As a spiritual counterpart to their earlier 'The Grey' release, this collection heavily strips away their black metal roots in favor of melancholic, acoustic neofolk. The tracks are steeped in pagan imagery, utilizing acoustic guitars, gentle piano, and spoken word samples drawn from the film 'The Wicker Man'. It beautifully highlights the band's deep appreciation for pastoral atmosphere and cinematic calm.
