Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Crypt of Ancestral Knowledge' delivers an incredibly cold, atmospheric return to the Pacific Northwest act's foundational black metal sound. The record brilliantly interweaves majestic, nature-inspired metallic aggression with deeply mysterious, acoustic dark folk and dungeon synth interludes. It acts as a highly concentrated, profoundly nocturnal distillation of their sweeping environmental aesthetics.
