When I discovered this album, I immediately loved it ! This is one of the best Post-Black releases of recent times to my ears. Ba'al deserves a much larger audience ! 𝕽𝖔𝖓𝖓𝖎𝖊 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕳𝖔𝖗𝖓𝖊𝖉
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Former members of the great band SubRosa return as The Otolith, and their debut LP finds them at the peak of their mighty powers. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 24, 2022
Russian Post-Black / Melodic Black Metal. These guys really know what they are doing & they have given a whole new meaning to bleak! But they have done this without losing those incredible melodies at each & every stage. Highly recommended!!! bmurator
