Menacing violin, cello, digeridoo? on Salqiu's side ebb &flow between multi-paced black metal riffs and ethereal synth. SaG is indeed Eerie here, atmospheric and somewhat dissonant. Vocally akin to Attila Csihar's grumbles. Notes of Blut Aus Nord, Thantifaxath, Leviathan, Oranssi Pazuzu. Keep an ear out for the surprise glockenspiel.

SaG draws you in slowly but keeps you hypnotized throughout. The flavor the tubular bells bring is gorgeous, a perfect juxtaposition to the murky black metal. Harkens back to Dimmu Borgir's best offerings. Salqiu impresses here with ample instrumentation, a gentle opening that leads to pure black metal, and then back again to lilting acoustic guitar(?). The shifting dynamics elevates the track, letting the listener breathe before plunging back into the darkness and blastbeasts.
