From Bandcamp, "LYCANTROPHILIA, summoned from the nocturnal vaults, prowls the frontier where Melodic Death entwines with Black Metal. United in feral voice and shadowed strings, each song is a ritual of ravenous guitars, abyssal screams and spectral keys – a cathedral of shadows where only the abyss endures." The album has eight songs, and "Carnivorous Forest" is first, and it is a combination of Black and Thrash Metal that is very aggressive. There is also a distinct cadence in the vocals, and some harrowing moments. "The Sovereign Scars of Ruin" has a slower sound, but it no less intense. There is a raucous energy here that carries forward the sound, and even some occasional orchestral and keyboard notes. The vocal style also varies, from screams to guttural and back again.

"When the Stars Beg for Silence" has a steady guitar riff and some spooky elements in the backing keys. Again, the vocals go deep into gutturals at times, and the animate bass guitar work is excellent. "Sung Through the Maw of Nothingness" has more pronounced symphonic elements combined again with spooky keys, some piano work, and more varied vocals. Some of the songs run together a bit, however, because they have a similar pace and sound. Some of the music is also just a bit thin. "Crown of Ashes" is more of the same, and at this point in the album, I feel like the band should be taking more chances. Again, for Black Metal, the soundtrack is just a bit on the thin side. "Litany Beneath the Rotting Moon" finally comes with that diversity I was talking about. Clean guitar tones and smooth keyboards combine with clean vocals, and the song has a very somber sound.

"Sanctum of Silence" is the final offering, and it's nice to hear that the band is keeping up the energy and the groove, because both are alive here. Dare I even say, it also features a catchy chorus. Overall, this was a solid album to listen to. It wasn't overly original, or even overly technical, but the keyboards and the orchestral elements did give it some more life. Still, as I mentioned, the music was just too thin at times, and the band could have taken more chances while still hanging onto their sound.
