The first impression is of an impossibly 'thin' sound, but even if this does not appeal, it is worth persisting. Excellent icily cold black metal with appealing melodies. Can we forgive the pun of the bandname / album title on 'palefroi' (i.e. palfrey), underlined by the image of the horse on the cover and the track 'Fier destrier')? I can, but then again I am a sucker for Gallic paronomasia, especially if medievally tinged...
