Remember Vorkreist?

If you said yes:

Go ahead and click away. This is more of the same for them.

If you said no:

Go ahead and click away. This is more of the same for death-ened black as a whole.

Sigil Whore Christ is like a t.v. dinner. Puncture the film with a fork, toss it into the microwave, press 3, wait for the beeps, let it cool for a minute, watch t.v. forget about it (letting it get overly cool), remember it fifteen minutes later, take a bite, put it back into the microwave, remove, admonish yourself for letting the "potatoes" get all crusty and full of holes, stir a bit, eat with fork, enjoy the (melodic) sodium, hate yourself for enjoying the melodic sodium, get the stomach gurgles, hate yourself even more profoundly, crawl into bed, hit up the fapdu, fall asleep for 30 minutes, wake up and repeat for more (melodic) sodium.

It's the sort of stuff that feels pre-cooked, will make you feel bad, and yet you'll still find yourself going back to it. Because it's easy and formulaic. And you're lazy.

And, with all that said, I still enjoy/slightly respect this thing. The musicianship is all solid in its own way, Vorkreist have chops, the tunes are all satisfactorily filling, etc, etc. It's cheap and unsettling in some ways, but I'll still listen to it. Catchy melodies are catchy melodies in the end.

It's just generic as hell... and the production sucks. It's like a guilty pleasure or something for me.
