A spiraling and winding descent into arcane black metal pandemonium. Sounding both modern and timeless at the same time, they unleash some serious throwback Celtic Frost/Darkthrone/early Mayhem vibes while projecting its hideous aura straight into the future with a shape-shifting approach to songwriting that can't be called anything different but "prog", while also throwing in the mix some unexpected ambient passages and improvisational liturgic abstractions (that yield a result of constant motion and disorienting unpredictability, as if we were facing a European version of Negative Plane or a more experimental reinterpretation of the arcane mysticism of Mortuary Drape.
