Sounds like Cthulhu going on a Benadryl and bath-salts fueled rampage through a Guitar Center while a bunch of the fish people from Innsmouth gang bang in the background. The guys from Ulthar sound more focused this time around, compared to the more meandering bits of Helionomicon (which is also awesome, check it out). And the album art... holy hell.

An excellent blend of black metal and death metal sounds. The whole thing is just a delightfully creepy listen! The dual vocal attack is great. There is a lot of tremolo in the guitar riffs, alternating between low and crushing tones and blistering high tones. Excellent album, beginning to end!

As I’ve come to expect from Ulthar, the riffs are twisting, blistering, and dizzying. There’s a good amount of variation in each cut, despite the consistently anxious atmosphere. Full review here: https://theeliteextremophile.com/2023/12/18/odds-ends-december-18-2023/

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names.
