A Chinese one-man black metal band doing Greek themed Serpent Column worship? Count me in!

This never left me with much of an impression upon my first listen but it's a grower for sure. I'm still not completely convinced it's the album for me (perhaps too dissonant) but I do have respect for their abilities. I'm also getting a Deathspell Omega vibe from it too.

So how the hell do I search for this in English? Is it on Spotify or Bandcamp?

Edit => Found it on Bandcamp and it's a freebie so that's a happy new year bonus.

I like the oppressive feeling you get from some parts but then it gets too hectic for my taste. I haven't listened much Deathspell Omega but I get some Oranssi Pazuzu vibes here and there. Vocals are okay. I'm not sure if I'll give it a second spin.

Beast of an album. Loved it, especially for all those well-placed tempo changes that kept things constantly fresh and exciting. The ambient elements fit well into the overall production. I do imagine I'll be listening to this album again.

Just so you know, the translation of the band name is Hoplite, like the Greek foot soldier.

The dissonant maelstrom of sound that is this record is pretty sick. Wild ride for sure.
