Undeniably one of my top 10 albums of 2009.
Black metal with very gloomy yet magnificent atmospheric parts.

No review for this yet? And surprisingly few votes either, few more and it could knock that bland Be'lakor album off the top of 2009. Then again maybe not if the limit is 25 votes.

Quite an excellent album. While not exactly the most original thing in the world (as one reviewer so adequately put it, it feels like Agalloch and Amesoeurs combined), what is recorded is quite sturdy and magnificent. The Watcher is quite an excellent singer, and the atmospheres are really nailed down well. Very shoe-gazey black metal-- makes me wonder what it would be like if this kind of group combined with a band like Kroda, a sound very centred on atmospheres as well...
Funny how back then it seemed so original and not bland, looking at Joe's comment. But now...it's something every group is doing, in my honest opinion. While the lyrics are excellent and the Watcher is an exciting figure, I can't see anything very original with it. I've seen people give their newest one a poor grade, but I'm currently listening to a demo of one song and it sounds like the band is progressing further...I'll have to check it out. BUT...the Maledicition Fields deserves a strong 8. If only it defied more boundaries and experimented further... then it would be truly worthy of a 9 or a 10.

Excellent album. This really surprised me, since I never suspected it to be this great.

You might not think so because this isn't as much of a post-fest as Dustwalker but to me this trounces it on every level.
Basically if you found the first track on Dustwalker to be the best track on the album then you will love this.

I am listening to the first track off this album as I am writing this. Wow. Love it. Tremendous aura and atmosphere. Hope the rest of the album is this good. Thanks again JOOE!

Would I like Altar Of Plagues? Never listened to them.

Honestly, it's been so long since I listened to them I really couldn't give you an honest answer. Lots of people dig them so I imagine there's a big chance you will too.

I haven't listened to Dustwalker yet, but Epoch sounded goddamn boring compared to this. However, subsequent listens are needed since this is just my first impression. I assume Dustwalker and Epoch are about the same kind of albums?

Yeah I would say so really. Dustwalker maybe has one or two tracks like the ones on this but overall it was a snorrefest.

I've listened to this whole album 5 times in the last 3 days. So good for a debut record. Although the cleans are a little weak and the production is so-so, the album just reeks of aura and desolation. If I ever made a list of best closing songs Bereft would be near the top. What an ender.
