I was certain this was going to be another great album by Esoctrilihum, but it was better than I even hoped. Definitely the best I've heard from him so far.
This is blackened death metal but it's so unique and different from any other blackened death metal band I've heard. The mind-warping spectral feelings in the instruments and cryptic vocals bring mutating and unearthly images to mind. This album stands out because I started seeing more detailed and vast scenes than usual. This time it was opulent palaces full of the unexplainable technology of alien specters. There were clear stone structures, glowing objects, and light from unknown sources.
The style this time is the most similar to Dy'th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath, and the cover art foretells of that, and that painting could not be better. I wonder if anyone can find me a better use of a blue & red color scheme in any art anywhere. Sexy, scary, imaginative, and empowering.
This is 2 hours of music that will put to shame almost any combination of 2 or 3 other albums that add up to the same amount of time. From the first track to the last track, my thinking was, 'yes, more, more, more.' My last little note is that this artist plays around with existing language - weaving in imaginary language - with more creativity and flair than anyone else in metal.
