Style: elemental intense satanic black metal
notorious grim mystical black metal duo, one of the most respected cults of esoteric blackness, explodes from the underground with their essential sixth full-length, featuring ten paeans to the occult that are hostile, hypnotic, infectious and bombastic at the same time; a mercilessly precise and monolithic force of evil strides across the misty landscapes like an invading, technologically advanced Leviathan with its violent chainsaw riffs and ominous vocal croak, feeding on dissonant twists, dense atmospheric layers, and the controlled chaos of precise rhythm, where every note pulses with dark transcendence, embodying the cosmic intellect of evil and ritual power, ultimately forging an overwhelming sonic monument that transcends genre boundaries and channels pure, otherworldly darkness into absolute dominion; deluxe collector's box edition with the album in digipak format, featuring re-recorded Where Darkness Is Lord and Death the Beginning bonus, embroidered patch, and goat-leather keyring is limited to 4000 units worldwide
