If you've been missing the golden days of Drudkh, are pining for the emotionally charged atmospherics of Fen's debut, or feel like Walknut's sophomore will never arrive, then this is truly the album for you. And what a blinder it is; dense and foreboding with a subtle, folky darkness that harkens back to Negură Bunget's 'n Crugu Bradului'.

Definitely. They sound better and they look better

And they do cost much more

I avoid to listen records on earbuds or headphones. I love to blast it on (small)speakers or on laptop. I'm not self-whoring right now but I have got 10 warnings in uni(including one face to face with head of the resident manager). I don't know I really like to refrain myself from listening on headphones.

Yeah, i'm like this only.

I really don't know how could anyone enjoy music on laptop :|. That's odd.
I used to occasionally blast music at maximum volume on my 1200 Watt speaker, and that pissed everyone off

Hah, now I know how those things are called... But screw them: HEADPHONES 4 EVER!

Definitely. They sound better and they look better

...And they don't damage your ear canal.

Pretty astonishing. My only complain is that this album does not sound loud enough. The mixing is fine but the whole thing needs to be amplified.

THIS ! my speakers are broken and I'm listening with my headphones on the maximum volume possible ... I still don't feel half the riffs. I'll wait till I listen to it properly so I can give it a rating. sounds pretty great tbh.

Are you streaming it from bandcamp by any chance? After I uploaded my tracks there I noticed it takes a fair portion of volume.

I first downloaded it in an illegal way, and had problem with the volume of the sound. Then, I went to bandcamp but this did not do any better for me.

As you'll notice on the main page here, I put the term atmospheric into quotation marks, signifying that it is personal perspective

But isn't this more of an ambient black metal album?

The dense production gives it a somewhat ambient-like quality but I wouldn't describe this as ambient black metal.

Isn't this too heavy on structure to be considered ambient black metal?

I wouldn't really call it atmospheric or ambient. It's just black metal that's well done.

Indeed, it has a "dreamy" feeling but it's clearly not ambient.

I got the digipack CD and it looks great. I almost like the inside even more than the cover art which is fantastic to begin with.

Disagree friend. I would put this in the "atmospheric" kind of black metal category. Reminds me of WoD and Fen.

Not getting the hype but still found this to be an enjoyable listen, so at least there's that.

You can always contact them via bandcamp (feature on the right side of the cover art) and ask for help Then just hope remains...

Not impressed. Got bored after the first track cause it felt like an album's worth already.

Ya I eventually deleted this off of my computer because I never listened to it. Not a bad album by any means but one I don't consider worth coming back to. Seems to be the case with me a lot these days.

Erik is a great and talented guy.

Still loving this, after many, many spins. Undoubtedly the best album of 2014.
