This is aggressive, occult Black Metal with a big, echoing sound that makes it seem like more epic bands like Uada or Nightbringer, but Wode are actually much more conventional than that. Good production goes a long way toward making this sound dynamic, but the songwriting is pretty solid too. This has a more trad metal style of riffing, and that gives the songs more identity than they might otherwise have, saving this from the faceless blasting so many black metal bands fall into. This is not groundbreaking, but it's got a visceral punch and more depth than it looks like at first glance.
