Debut release from this new project featuring members of Doppelaxt and Blinding Sun. Vile and tremendous release, inspired by Nietzsche and gnostic mysticism, ensnared in these tracks is genuine spiritual warfare and the embrace of self-determination, sovereignty and individual might. Perfectly capturing some of Nietzsche's central concepts, such as the Eternal Return, both in the titles, such as the band's name and the second track, as in the music, delivering with fierce and dedication its golden blizzard of unwearying Black Metal, in the vein of acts like Lascowiec or Hate Forest, or the last track with seemingly some inflluence from Funeral Mist or even Misþyrming's “Algleymi“ in the melodic but still ferociously dissonant leads penetrating through the incessant walls of ordered barbarism. Besides the exquisite guitarwork, I'll highlight particularly as well the brutal vocals, delivered in multiple layers with a tremendous, austere punch and vigor. “Lo! I am weary of my wisdom, like the bee that hath gathered too much honey; I need hands outstretched to take it. I would fain bestow and distribute, until the wise have once more become joyous in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches. Therefore must I descend into the deep: as thou doest in the evening, when thou goest behind the sea, and givest light also to the nether-world, thou exuberant star!” To be released on cassette format via Pennsylvania Black Metal Inner Circle in the USA, БѢДСТВІЕ in Russia, and Signal Rex in Europe.
