Whoa, this is pretty damn good so far... hugely impressive sound. Maybe a bit Deathspell Omega-ish perhaps but there's some nice twists in their approach, I'm getting a definite Blut aus Nord vibe at times too. Great, massive sound.

Probably the best black metal related thing I've heard this year.

Mark it on your calendar motherfuckers: I agree with Joe.

I love this album

This IS the best BM album from 2012 so far

Agreed. Haven't come across anything better yet.

As much as I love this I suspect it's just keeping the seat warm for either Meads or BaN. We shall see.

The upcoming Esoterica album might be a contender also but this will surely end up high on any list I'll be making

...Meads or BaN.

I highly doubt either will surpass this for me. BaN's two from last year were definitely good but assuming the finale is anything like the first two, I won't even regard it as a top 10 release.

It's pretty rare for me to like BM but I actually like this so far

It's especially weird for me to like something that Troy raves about.

That's okay. It's especially weird for me to like something that Joe raves about.

This afternoon I gave it a second listen and they already convinced me. It's impressive how these guys handle the dissonance.

Listened to a few songs off this, sounds like Enslaved to me...

It just does, I dunno. I picked "The Descent", "Cold Room" and "Those Who Believed". Maybe it's the vocals.

has Ponderer taken possession of Teamster's body?

Like Enslaved? wtf? I have heard a lot of weird comparison concerning bands in the past but none as weird as this one.

Yep, I'm afraid Enslaved never crossed my mind. Deathspell, Glorior Belli, Blut aus Nord, but never Enslaved.

My album collection isn't exactly full of black metal, so I am probably the last soul on this sight anyone wants to take info/recs on black metal...

C'mon, not at all? The guitar framework or vocals? Not the song structures themselves, they have much more atmosphere than Enslaved

Well fuck, that's it. I quit.

Were could I find this? My sources are withholding things from me!

If you can't find it on the Candlelight website, I'm pretty sure it's being sold via Amazon, eBay, and iTunes.

I found about 0% in common between Reverence and Enslaved. Aside from the fact both bands can be filed under black metal.

You know what ! Cold Room and Those Who Believed strike a certain resemblance to latest Enslaved, so you are not totally wrong

Thanks man, I need that. Thought I was goin crazy...or maybe it just shows the lack of black metal material in my collection.

Written by tea[m]ster on 29.04.2012 at 06:23

Fix that fast

Nah, I tried a few times, but I just couldn't get into it. Bits and pieces stuck with me, but nothing else. I'm rarely into this kind of black metal, so it should come as no surprise.

And to tea[m]ster: Enslaved? WTF? Sorry to keep rubbing it in, but wow.

...Enslaved?! Seriously?!

Sorry, had to jump in.

There is a (little little) bit of Enslaved, but it's there nonetheless
