so far the latest, seventh album by celebrated Icelandic phenomenon sounds quite familiar if you have been following the band's career at least for the past ten years: characteristically vintage vibe, non-conformist attitude, intricate genre limits transcending passages, as well as haunting and mostly depressing atmosphere sum up nine soul-touching tracks that would perfectly fit on the soundtrack of some psychological thriller, stepping outside the comfort zone on more than few occasions, with a nice nod to the black metal heyday coming in shape of Dionysos, which surprises with quite an intense, dramatic build-up; deluxe limited velvet clad clam box edition includes digipak version of the album with two additional exclusive tracks and twenty page booklet, as well as black wristband with white logo, printed fake-leather magnet, and black webcam cover with white logo
