					<description><![CDATA[The album had every sound a Black Metal enthusiast would want…horrid vocals, thick, intricate guitar work, and fast moving drums. The guitars also create some dual harmonies that make the songs come to life. Clean vocals and saxophone are often unusual instruments in the genre, but they work very well here.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[To put your mind at ease, these guys not only know how to write Brutal Death Metal songs that will make your brain explode in order to paint the walls and ceiling, they are also able to make sure that all the instruments are not only sounding good, but distinguishable. Hats off to the production team!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What you do get on “Segruocs Lacitsaiselcce” is the full second demo with the same name, plus the rehearsals for the (unreleased) third demo “Sacrilegious Writh” and some rehearsals from 1993. All together the band in combination with the record company have been able to compile over 78 minutes of material.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[SERMON TO THE LAMBS starts off alright musically. It is devastatingly energetic and extreme, from the very first second. This kind of Brutal Death Metal with close connections to Grindcore will cut through you like the proverbial knife through butter. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The album was excellent, and there were even some surprises along the way. There is a foundation of iron with the aggressive tones, but melody isn’t an afterthought, and the two play together nicely in the sandbox, even if the skies overhead are dark.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Y'all probably remember The Polar Express, right? Those poorly-made characters and their uncomfortable appearances? The uncanny valley was in full effect there, and it rears its inhuman head to me with this record's mixing. I'm no master, mixer, or producer, but I'm sure something's awry with a good 72% of "Entanglement."]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I have Advanced Placement testing soon. It's a big one. What should I do? If you answered "study for the damn test so you earn college credit," your heart is in the right place, but your logic is flawed. The correct answer is "disregard both studying and any recently received promos to write about a random Austrian black metal project's demo tape." ]]></description>

I used RateYourMusic's information on this group, because their website, nor the promo I received, lists the members' names or instruments. This is a warning to include them.

					<description><![CDATA[Instrumental bands have to work harder to gain your attention because there are no vocals or lyrics you can use to guide you. I even know some people who won’t even listen to instrumental music for these very reasons. What we have here is an album that is always moving, shifting, even metamorphosing. They shift from passage to passage and from weight to light with the skills of a Nascar driver navigating a track in a heated race. The jazzy elements fit right in, proving Metal can be very diverse.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Where in the fuck has this band been all of my life? They play like a group of guys that have spent their lives together, and can finish each other’s sentences. The music is so tight and they never miss even a hint of a note across five songs. Their talent…is off the charts. It’s beyond lively, energetic, and catchy, and it about as perfect of an album as I have heard this year.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[“Peace by Proxy” is the kind of album that you melt into a listener. Despite the coldness that the synths provide as a backdrop for the vocals, Heike’s vocals are the opposite: warm, gentle, and smooth. These two things should not be able to occupy the same sound on an album, due to their stark contrast, yet they do, and they do so well. The longer I spend with the album, the warmer it gets for me.]]></description>

But it is, as this band from Renton, in Washington state in the USA have really made me take notice with their combination of Speed Metal, Punk, Oi, Black Metal and even Crust. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This isn’t your typical Black Metal release. Indeed, the duo are always looking for ways to color the palate, and to play outside of the sandbox. You can hear the riffs and the bass, and although the vocals are deeply guttural and filthy at times, it’s the sophisticated sense of melody that really sets the band apart.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In sum, this was an excellent release. The total run time of the album is up there, but the amazing thing is that they never lose their way, or meander in the way some Prog albums do. Indeed, they keep the end goal in sight, and each note is a precursor to the next, falling in line like dominoes toppling. I also found the album to be just as advertised…where 70’s and 80’s Prog meet modern Extreme Metal. It’s a dark horse album with impeccable musicianship that will garner them many fans, for sure.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This album burrows into darkness, dragging the listener through corridors that feel untouched and unsettling. There’s a sense of venturing beyond familiar emotional terrain, into spaces that feel isolating, suffocating, and strangely vast all at once. It feels exploratory in its bleakness, as if the band is deliberately pushing past the edges of where most would turn back, mapping out regions of despair and unease that feel rarely, if ever, visited. Twisted and unhinged, you say? Beyond any doubt.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Although only five songs, the band made a strong case for themselves in the modern scene of Black Metal, because they didn’t try to out-pace or even out-run other bands by pushing intensity and rage blindly over everything else. Instead, they slowed things down a bit so that you can clearly hear the guitars, the music, and the vocals. I would advise keeping your eyes on this band for the future.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This mashup of Black and Doom Metal came with a back story that was realized throughout the lengthy journey, and it came with many different sounds…some sad, others angry, and I was impressed with the amount of variation and different instruments the band used to tell the tale. It left an indelible mark on my soul.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I will die on this hill: writing hooks is the single most difficult thing in music, and many bands just falls short. CREYE does not. It seems to just come natural for the quintet, although I suspect like anything else, they have to constantly twist and mold them. In the end, they deliver another outstanding effort, and they might be Frontiers Music’s best kept secret.]]></description>
