Four-song/22-minute platter of infinitely promising, expertly recorded 'true epic metal', as some have termed it here at Terror HQ - but, more crucially, of a most norm-shattering aspect. First are the ever-present string arrangements, next are the deathly growls and even more black scowls, then the overtly socially conscious lyrics, and lastly the perpetually down/side-winding/spiralling song-construction - and, yes, quite 'epic', all around. It's a bewitching, bewildering brew, sure enough, and begging of a much wider audience without any sacrifice of integrity or 'cred'.
