Intermittent pulses
Illume the haze
Of frantic schemes
Along a horizon of wilderness
Thy dark clouds gather again
Like maenads come raging
Into our dulled spheres
Carve their way through
The sediments of time
- Wherever now shineth life
Once cometh placid death
Wherever now reigneth mountain
Once followeth vale, even sea -
Battered figures indicate
The rains of change
Twofold disguise creates illusions
Of complexity amidst entities
A harrowing scenery
I want to be apart
A relentless flow tears at
Point and room and time
Enchants matter to be part of
The river
Melodic, almost pagan black metal out of Iceland with some of the most aggressive vocals I've heard in the genre. It's balls to the walls from the first note with few respites, but its melodic enough to not overstay its welcome. Jeff Wilson
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
To me this duo powerfully express what black metal is all about: icy spite reserved for those who deserve it, carefully built atmospheres, and a raging rawness to the vocal delivery and drums. All three of their albums so far, though brief, pack a solid emotional punch and have an introspective dimension I deeply appreciate. Highly recommended. Dave Aftandilian
