Ahhhh...black "fucking" metal. Terminology to be used cautiously .Explicit descriptions are apt for luminous legends such as EMPEROR, IMMORTAL and MAYHEM but new contenders to the throne of Arhiman SUFFERING SOULS fall a slight shy .Perhaps it's their meandering repetition or that they seem a Doppelganger of many lesser known and just as....dare I say, bland non-chameleons.
Some of the songs "Enigmatic Aeon" and "The Art of Arrogance" contain interesting crescendos and at least they aren't clinically cynical milksops but black metal is essentially a form of music spouting diatribes about revelatory gallows' humor. The plastic sounding programmed drums and unidentifiable from hundreds of other vocalists banters does not a great album make. Consider this a mere gateway to more rewarding things.
