Using master musicianship and tightly honed songwriting SÜHNOPFER intertwine frantically flowing drums, ardent volleys of shapeshifting classical guitar melodies and desperately impassioned vocals. The album incorporates choral themes from Baroque composers Charpentier and Cherubini, and features a guest spot for Vindsval (BLUT AUS NORD) providing choirs/lead guitar to the exceptional “Sermon sur le Trépassement“. The record concludes with “Le Bal des Laze“, a cover version of a late '60s song from French chanson artist Polnareff. Performed originally as a funeral march, the track lends itself perfectly to a Black Metal adaptation and epitomises SÜHNOPFER's sense of daring as a living emanation from a boisterous past.
