A six-track endeavor by this Dutch band manifested through enthralling sounds, sonic leitmotifs conjuring the void which consumes humanity towards the endlessness. The album covers a wide of spectrum of influences, ranging from black metal to post-punk, progressive and jazz elements, yet its audial magick echoes throughout the organic, natural feel, with no components - however aesthetically antagonistic they may seem - feeling out of place, portraying an ensemble bigger than the sum of its parts. The clean, sort of "alien" production suits the six tomes flawlessly as the intricate, virtuous interlacing of guitar tracks evolve and mix each other in a vortex of electric discharges that escort the astonishing, ethereal female vocals, carrying the fire, blood and flesh of every sung line.
