Altaar - Altaar (Digipak CD)

Review

The funereal keys are carried over to the second part, "Dei Absolutte Krav Og Den Absolutte Nade". The tension mounts until it explodes into a burst of pitch-black post-sludge. Even though the atmosphere feels both oppressive and nihilistic, Altaar never regress into pure chaos. Every chord and noise have a distinct feeling of careful deliberation. The aftermath is a menacing drone that crawls back into the dark pit from whence it came, shrouded in a nebula of distortion, fading out with another somber guitar-piece. - Metal Observer 4/5
