This freakin' secretive group which may originate from pretty much anywhere in the US has really carved out their own little micro-niche right from the get-go over the course of less than two years in that whole murky area of dungeon-esque, postmodern black metal genre crossovers/mashups, blending death rock-ish post punk with black metal in a way that flows so effortlessly and naturally i've yet to see any similar band catch up to it. Anyway, i thought they were starting to become a bit hit-and-miss on more recent releases, at times feeling just a bit too rushed and forced in their ambitions, so decelerating their working pace and giving their compositions ample time to breathe and unfold instead of cramming every random idea into three-minute bursts of noise strikes me as the right call here, as these two new sprawling tracks, together adding up to a decent album length, may actually be the most consistently captivating the band has ever sounded so far.
