| A burley 50-minute 8-song masterpiece packaged in story-book digi-pak format. Full on blackmetal /grind from San Francisco with guttural female vocals, blast-beats, punishing doom stricken gloom and instrumental interludes. This is black metal, but expect no Norway worship here, songs about snowy mountain peaks, or panda bear make-up. It is black metal by default only, and depressing and harsh by circumstance. Hopeless and angry; featuring members of Hammers of Misfortune, F¶lcain¶, Impaled, Ominum, and the Lord Weird Slough Feg. The band sites musical influences as despair, tragedy, loneliness, and ennui, though their sound could be more easily compared to the likes of Enslaved, Mayhem, Bethlehem, Dark Throne, and Dodheimsgard.
