Lychgate - An Antidote for the Glass Pill (Digipak CD)

Review

An Antidote for the Glass Pill should spark some controversy in the coming months, and I'd like to think it'll become an album that only grows in reputation as time goes on. Lychgate have crafted a work of expressionist horror in the fleeting space where matters of genre become clouded and irrelevant. If I may any parting words on it, it's that the album takes some time to grow, even on the most attentive set of ears. Where many overly frightening, or avant-garde works get their point across in bold, loud ways, Lychgate's dread grows with each listen. If they started out as a promising black metal band. they've now become the sort of act capable of crafting masterpieces in none but their own image. - Heathen Harvest 5/5
