There is a undercurrent (sub genre? movement?) of ostensible black metal bands doing weird things with their music. Avant-garde things, experimental things. In my head, there is this cluster of bands like Oranssi Pazuzu, Krallice, Liturgy, and Thy Catafalque.
I would put Sweven solidly in that category, and this album is at the top of a lot of people's end of year lists for a reason.
Could it be true? Could I actually like a prog-metal album? An arguably tech-death prog-metal album? It's a Christmas miracle.
