The air is barren and choking / Steals the breath from our lungs
And the voice from our shredded throats
Inhaling the dust / Expelling the waste from our past / We tread on
Through wind so cold it burns / Skin becomes stone / The flesh of our faces gangrenous death
The waymarks have twisted and fallen / Luring to paths errant and untrod
Pointing toward chasms tumbling sheer / Into the pits of the earth
Pointing toward monoliths vanishing / Into the heart of the storm
There is no way forward
There is no way back
I defy the futility
Clutching my fingers cragged and bleeding
To the knives edge of stone
We ascend
Beaten by hail
Lashed by the scourge of the furor
Our worth is tried yet again
Still you are there climbing beside me
Into the unknowable black of the sky

What an absolutely beautiful album! This is what black metal really leads to; beautiful and powerful expressions of anger, mourning, and joy that lead to real change for those suffering! I can’t say enough good things about this album! The huge range of genres is incredible as well! deathmoth829

Il y a des fantômes qui font tomber les lustres ou les bibliothèques, d'autres qui font grincer les planches... Les vibrations de l'air déclenchées par Old Nick prennent possession d'une botte — ni plus ni moins. Ce n'est pas grand-chose, me direz-vous, mais c'est suffisant quand le but de chaque piste est de mettre un bon coup de pied au cul ! Le raw black metal est moins raw mais bien plus énergique, presque rock, et riche en synthés grotesques qui font SHEBAM ! POW ! BLOP ! WIZZ ! Génial ! Jordan Vauvert

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
