I honestly don't know why I waited so long to post this, as it's easily one of the most impressive Black Metal releases this millenium. A very basic way to describe this would be the Black Metal equivalent of Stargazer, except far more melodic. It definitely follows in the path of the progressive and groundbreaking metal that Australia's incestuous scene has been known for the past 6 years. The fact that this band features members of Portal and Stargazer should be no surprise, and only incite further enticement.
This album really has it all: great songs, musicianship, production value, dynamics, amazing artwork. What's also impressive is these guys manage to be challenging and unique while still maintaining the essential deppressive and sorrowful qualities of Black Metal. They're progressive without turning into another "genre-salad" band. If you've been digging the melodic bass of Beyond Creation, this album's got that too. Seriously you guys are gonna shit yourselves when you hear this.
It is pretty great, isn't it? That Adelaide scene has gotten so prolific. It's kind of beyond me how this band hasn't gotten the same attention as Portal, but hopefully, that will change.
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I adore this album.
