Description/Review
Even from the opening intro track, it is clear that there will be something to pay attention to, and the album will not simply be a rehash of tried and true forms of second wave black metal or just old school worship in general. Certainly there are plenty of other influences here, and they manage to show themselves in very interesting ways throughout the 38 minute run-time. The sharp and sometimes atonal lead work combines well with the changing riffs and overall tempo changes on each track. The drumming is quite impressive as well, and the bass is a bit thin on the album, but the rest of the musicianship makes up for it very well. Vocally, the project consists of a higher and mid-range scream, and the delivery is something that comes across as a little different and very intriguing.
