Quite possibly the best black metal for grownups

Review Score: (10/10)
This album features some of the most refined guitar playing to ever grace a black metal album. Less reliant on keyboards than most Abigor albums (most of the keyboard samples that _are_ used come from old Dom and Roland tunes), and even more epic in scope and consistent in sound than their last album, _Supreme Immortal Art_. I was a latecomer to Abigor, but unlike some black metal bands (like Emperor, whose _Equilibrium IX_ was, on the whole, a huge disappointment), they continue to improve and fail to disappoint.

I would never pick this as an album to introduce black metal to people who aren't familiar with it (or don't like it), as the seamlessness that makes it such an overpowering listen for darkheshers would probably make it somewhat inaccessible to people who don't get why putatively normal people enjoy headbangers extolling the virtues of the Dark Lord over double kick drums.
