Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
Nearly a decade after their last LP, the Chicago post-metal trio resurface with a punishing concept album set in an apocalyptic wasteland. Bandcamp New & Notable May 5, 2024

The duo take their time to fully develop the songs, resulting in (mostly) lengthy, complex tracks. The production is solid, with an emphasis on guitars and Nohr's tortured, piercing vocals. The mood swings from grandiose, majestic and aggressive to subdued and melodic. "I Skyggen Af Den Æreløse Strejfer" is a prime example thereof. Overall, this reminds me of old Burzum and Emperor, with a bit less emphasis of the 'symphonic' adjective. A fine album indeed! Bloedarend
