I dub the album “thinking man’s Black Metal,” because the compositions are not only frightening, but they come from four talented musicians who know how to tell a story with their music, and tell it well. With each song, you are lost further and further into the album, until you take that fateful step when it’s too late to go back. In many ways, you don’t mind, as your innate evil surfaces and pushes all reason and humanity back down.
