Dense, chaotic US black metal. Somewhat in the realm of Emperor's last two albums, but without the symphonic elements. Ambitious, knotty songs marked by stellar musicianship that, regardless of how much kick-ass riffage they contain, will probably inspire more stoned headphone listening than headbanging. In writing this, I discovered that the mastermind behind this band, Matthew David Ponce (aka Spectral) died in March of this year, and that's really sad, but I felt like I had to mention it.
