This is unquestionably the best black metal album of the year. These guys move me in a way that not a lot of bands can, and I've listened to metal, punk, and hardcore for nearly 30 years. Outstanding record, not totally like "Diadem... " or "Two Hunters" or "Black Cascade" or" "Celestial...," but definitely retaining that aggressive, earthy, and heavy spirit. Very well done.
