"...sounds like a bizarre and murderous after-hours carnival of vertigo.
Nothing less than a complete inversion of songs, with Ephel Duath
totally deconstructing the black metal genre and starting anew on this
73-minute disc. The song structures sound like the Dillinger Escape Plan
writing a score for the merry-go-round at a carnival of doom; just a
nightmarish hodgepodge of sounds that under no circumstance can the
listener actually digest or comprehend. All one can really do is sit
back, let it attack and laugh at how utterly surreal music has become.
Without a doubt the best thing to happen to black metal in a long
time... Ephel Duath is the end of music as we know it."
