Gaze into the infantile eyes of the "saints" — weaving your anger into a tight knot. Sink your infernal claws into the "holy" flesh — exposing the rotting roots beneath. Tear off a piece of the unbearable and gather all the blood with a cursed word, never lifting your mouth from the fruits of Nihilism. The severed "gazes" will wander through waves of boundless desolation — pulled into the noose of wasted time.  The album has five songs, and "Vortex" is first. Heavy, psychedelic notes pierce the void, followed by a riff that is quite unconventional. Loosely, you can identify this as Black Metal, but it's also very experimental. Along the dark and harrowing ride, there are sharp turns to areas most would try to avoid, and there are even moments of groove, and melody. Keep your wits about you, because the song will lure you into its lair and there is no escape.

"Omen" is equally as mysterious. It opens with clean, solemn tones that seem innocuous, but segues into madness. Aggressive tones follow, but there is a constant shifting between them and psychedelic notes. It's almost like getting to see inside the mind of a schizophrenic. At times, they are happy, and other times, his outlook and perspective are as black as obsidian. Rolling into "Seed," it's another quizzical song that you just can't quite wrap your hands around. Each time you have a firm grip, the shape changes, and it falls from your grasp. The patient is fully capable of walking amongst us, but at times, this proves quite challenging. The monsters in his mind are always clawing at him, begging him to go off the rails. The music aptly reflect this struggle.

"Force" hears that struggle continue even more intensely. For the first few minutes, it's dark and aggressive, with tortured vocals. The howls in the icy winds get worse, and so does your feeling of paranoia. Even when the tones are lighter, you still can't find them. It's as if the ray of light disappears the moment you reach for it. "Inquisition" is the final song. The feedback at the beginning is broken by an aggressive riff and vocals as intense as the heart of a fire. Strong, powerful strikes take over from there, and it's almost as if the band is building an impenetrable fortress. There are quieter moments, but they don't detract from the absolute darkness of the song. It ends on a cliffhanger…does he make it, or not?

This is the type of Black Metal album that was made for people who like their genre styles outside of the box. The experimental side of the album keeps a strong surprise factor that takes away the normal guide you might have as a listener and just burns it up. What is left is a maze of webs that you are thrust into head first without a light and you have to figure your way out, with a soundtrack of pain, torture, and madness blasting into the landscape.
