Review

The songs correctly capture the primal inevitability of death, a concurrent theme (you probably noticed from the song titles). This is a far more grim and suicidal album than many black metal albums these days who consider themselves 'depressive' or suicidal. I enjoyed it a great deal...and by that I mean I got NO enjoyment out of this whatsoever! - 4/5
