Recently I discovered E.D.M. and I was seduced from the first second of this release. From primitive blackness of the old days, to more lyrical elements, this album has it all. A combination of styles, all under the black banner, and all full of different emotions and moods. Amazing riffs, technical but yet extremely raw outbursts with splinters of melancholy and serene bits, and one of the best vocals around! A small dark universe crafted with care and devotion. Atmospheric but solid synthesis, amazing sound production and excellent performance; even the use of a drum machine is so well done that the whole result breaks bones and crushes skulls! You won't escape easily, this album will haunt you. It's one of those exceptions that stuck in your brain but you can't explain it. It isn't something you haven't listened before, not quite, it's not that much experimental even though it has some experimental elements, but the musical genius, weird feeling and song structure does the difference. Should you like old Darkthrone style, should you like more recent stuff like Watain or Ved Buens Ende, should you like atmospheric music or even harsh dark ambient, all and much more can be found here and far more advanced than the average. Polymorphic yet simple and monolithic black metal of the purest form. One of the best albums I listened and in my top 5 for 2008.5/5(I wrote this review for Metal Archives, August 14th, 2008)
