Pitch-perfect symphonic black metal from the Quebecois underground. Fantastical themes matched by busy, melodic, keyboard-heavy epics. The keyboardist can actually play, too. For a band that was clearly working on a budget, this (and all their stuff) is extremely well-executed. I got this record way back in the early days of Soulseek when I had practically zero real-life connection to the world of metal, and based purely on quality, I assumed that they were really well-known, which they should be.
