Came across this a couple of weeks ago. Powerful and haunting atmospheric doom with healthy traces of black and folk. An excellent release, easily one of the best of 2008 and worth consideration to fans of doom and black alike.

These guys will be at Heathen Crusade, something to look out for.

Note - Their demo, Pacing The Cyclic Nether, is also quite good.

I listend to this for the first time last night and it was really impressive. I have listened to next to no metal in 2008, but this is one I'm not gonna forget at the end of the year.

gave it one "spin" so far and was not hooked up right away, which is quite fine by all means. I shall get back to it soon, at the turn of seasons. I'm all for another "The Mantle"-like revelation, and this will possibly be the one. Hell was that good back in 2002...

These are some good lads. They will also be playing Minneapolis the day after HC as well as Chicago a day or so later with the Frostmoon Eclipse tour.
