This is slicky performed, polished black metal from Croatia, their first full length. The band has been around in some form since 2003 when their first demo was published. There are some similarities, superficially, to Immortal in the riffing, but that's where the similarities end. The primary vocal style here is a hoarse yell, which definitely sets this band apart from a lot of black metal today. Sung vocals make an appearance throughout the record at points, and they add both melody and atmosphere, and are performed a lot like Emperor's clean vocals, or Watain's yells. The riffs alternate between laid back and brutal, but the drums never back off and it's full speed ahead most of the time. This is fairly enjoyable stuff, and it reeks of true feeling and intent, but isn't stuck trying to imitate others. Definitely original.
