This album arrives like a blizzard at midnight—unforgiving, relentless, and in full control. The ferocity of Black Metal is here in full force. Beneath all the chaos, there are stretches of somber reflection that stop the storm in its tracks. These quieter passages create a tension that is just as heavy as the moments of unrestrained violence. It’s the sound of the world burning, followed by the silence of watching the embers die. This is Black Metal at its most precise, emotional, and devastatingly alive.
