From Alberta, Canada comes this black metal band with their first full length. This is North American style black metal through and through with a death metal edge and a slightly proclivity toward thrashy riffs. I found it interesting that on Metal Archives they listed Begrime Exemious, Mortuary Drape, and Ares Kingdom as similar bands. If you put those three in a blender, it would probably be not too far off from what's on this record. The riffing tends toward the melodic, often lending their tracks a rather epic feel. The dark melodies in their sound are attributable to the black metal skeleton to which everything else is welded. The production is clean and natural, and there is plenty of space for each instrument to shine. They also have some badass song titles, like "By the Whip," "Inside My Cryptic Chambers," and "We, Who Reign with the Devil." This is definitely recommended to those who want their black metal with a dose of something extra.
