Strong debut from this US band who I suspect might be a solo act—hard to say, since this is one of those bands that is extremely stingy with information. This is Black Metal with a definite second-wave sound that reminds me of mid-period Satyricon, but with a slower approach and melodic sense that is more like Dissection. The production is sharp and gives this a lot of impact it might not otherwise wield, as the compositions are nothing revolutionary. Still, this is going for that cold, Scandinavian sound and hitting it dead on. A band to watch for.
