I am not going to hide my bias. Alexander Von Meilenwald is a crafter of some of the finest blackened doom metal on the planet, and I am most definitely a fanboy for The Ruins Of Beverast. Having been somewhat disappointed, however, with the project's previous Blood Vaults effort, I went into 2017's Exuvia with some pretty high hopes of the music redeeming itself. And by the grace of Nyarlathotep, those hopes have been met.

Came back to this one tonight. Definitely the best artwork of any ROB release so far. Musically I’d say this comes in at about 3 or 4 in the discog for me (as far as the LPs are concerned). Foulest Semen and Unlock The Shrine are definitely Von Meilenwald’s best, but from there it’s hard to say whether this or Rain Upon The Impure is better
