Woozily beautiful US depressive black metal. Lushly layered clean and distorted guitars and ethereal keyboards that invoke an enveloping, shoegaze-like atmosphere, but with queasy, oft-dissonant riffs and melodies. Given its lack of electro-dance breakdowns and ill-advised 90s alt covers, Reverse Baptism is among Benighted in Sodom's less experimental efforts AND my personal favorite.
Track listing:
1. Sweetness Depraved
2. Chains of Bliss
3. Try to Forget Us
4. Flauros
5. Ocean - Part I
6. Ocean - Part II
7. Reverse Baptism
Behold this mighty chain
