A highlight of a solid year in black metal, this album from 2017 remains one of my favorites of recent metal.
This is how you do drummer-led music without sounding weirdly proggy. Not that this isn't prog-black metal, because it 100% is.
Alternating between moody samples / melodic passages and pummeling dynamic black metal assault, this is destined to be a classic of the time in which black metal grew up and beyond. In the future we will talk about a third wave of black metal, and this will be one of the seminal albums in that discussion.
