No, this is not shanty-core or pirate metal or whatever other jokey genre the cover might make you think of. This is where prog and black metal meet (like a lot of what I've posted recently, weird), but far out to sea.
Thematically we are somewhere between the first season of The Terror and H. P. Lovecraft,which is common enough ground for horror core metal bands.
What makes this unique and not just another "oh the power of the old gods" kind of thing, is the dissonant pummeling. Musically closer to Botanist or Schammasch, I actually was surprised that this album wasn't from The Flenser label.
This is both a lot of fun, and a serious metal album.
