Occult raw black metal from one of Australia's finest. Between its sickly-sounding, out-of-tune guitars, sloppy drumming, all-over-the-place vocals, periodic horror keyboards, and borderline jam-like compositions, A Pact with Madness stands out as a particularly unsettling, draining record in an impressive discography full of them.

Track listing:
1. Chapter I
2. Chapter II
3. Chapter III
4. Chapter IV
5. Chapter V
6. Chapter VI
7. Chapter VII (Closing)

To brown any and all sparks of light
Seems to be the only semi-comprehensive goal
