Despite the fact that Temple Koludra's mastermind, M:W, prefers to call his project a collective, this debut is mainly a solo work, with some vocals performed by M:G and featuring drum contributions by P:W, who is rumoured to be a black metal veteran but, just like everyone involved, his/her identity is a mystery. To be blunt, I normally don't bother with bands that have a desire to hide the musicians' identity because, more often than not, I find this tendency to be a pretentious effort to merely add a touch of enigma to underwhelming music. However, exceptions do occur and, oh boy, is this such an exception!
