Heere we goo. April 2021 till today was very dry to perfect BM CD release. And here we goo. Excellent catchy riffs, pleasure for listen and not boring from AtoZ. Yes it is primitive BM but good. Only thing that i dont like is that album is muffy mixed/mastered on purpose. Like LP-to tape rip imitation. Maybe good idea but if sound was liitle cleaner the whole thing will be bether. Anyway good album.
PS: Yes, the cover is little bit silly

Nice and simple. It's nothing spectacular but seeing just some primitive, more raw bm once in a while is always a treat. Disagree with the other commenter, a cleaner production would ruin this completely.

The last song is cute as hell. Otherwise yeah just another nicely done, but somewhat generic black metal album.

Romantic raw bm has a special place in my heart because of Stefan Kozak's masterpieces he left behind after he left this world
There is never gonna be another mystic forest album, but at least the influenced bands can still keep going. And it's such a scarce scene, too. We need more romantic black metal

It's like a cute version of transilvanian hunger. Everything about it is great. Instant classic.

It turns out this album quickly became a meme among the bm community, like Mgla or Batushka. Go figure...

Yeah, it's only a matter of time before this will be the most popular avatar around here.

Reminds me a bit of Ancient, especially the vocals. When Aphazel took over the vocals.
Anyone else hear a slurping sound on track 5, near the end? Like someone slurping their drink?

The piano and clean guitar additions to this album really add a layer of melancholy that other bands try sooo hard to achieve. The first track literally makes me feel sad.

I think this album is a good indication of what the 2nd Wave of Black Metal would've become if they actually embraced how stupid they looked, and that makes me kinda sad for what we could’ve had.

At any rate this album rules.

Whatever that means.

If anything that logic applies deservingly more in the reverse. Wishfully thinking to shit like this and anything reminiscent of revitalizing and/ or revisionist. Black metal can't ever seem to truly escape the second wave for good reason and an extremely minute amount of them have any actual personality.
