This album is particularly evil and relentless in comparison to the rest of Valdrin's releases. The acoustic passages are reminiscent of early Opeth, with lines of spoken word sprinkled on top. The riffs are crushing, the vocals are perfectly mixed, and the drums are executed beautifully. The lyrics follow story that carries through all of their albums, telling a very intriguing story, and they flow very well. If their 2023 release is too "bright" for you, give this album a listen instead.
