They say former band members don't die, they just form a new band- that's exactly what happened to Kvitrafn (left- Gorgoroth) & Iscariah (right- Immortal).
This release is essentially a black metal offering but it is adequately laced with thrash's erratic mood swings, so much so that it would attract the average metal head who thinks there should be more life to the former genre. In this album we are able to hear:
- Kvitrafn's dynamic tempo temperaments, not just the swirling thumps he issued during his Gorgoroth stint
- Iscariah's vocal capacity (which drew much inspiration from Abbath but with absent troll-like squawks)
- Iscariah's guitar playing content which proved he's not the bass shadow in his former Immortal life
Fans of Aura Noir/ I/ Grimfist would applaud this effort.
