the vocals threw my off a bit at first but they do complement what they are portraying very well, I ended up really liking them

This is sitting at #7 on RYM's charts, that's wild. Good for them though!

Halfway thru and it’s incredible. Possibly AOTY contender. Gonna have to do a listen while reading all the lyrics. Love the blurb on their Bandcamp.

Can y’all rec me bands that are black metal but blend with other genres, like this. Always looking for more bands that give me that creative vibe like Kayo Dot. A variety of instruments (love me strings and brass) and a sound that has black metal (or other extreme metal) but melds other genres. I dunno, now I’m ramblin’. Thanks for sharing this album, I’m very happy

Aenaon is a good, relevant pick for me. They've got a new album coming out this year and one of their regular members plays saxophone. It's a great time!

Want to like this but it's a bit too all over the place for me, I think.

"Want to like this but it's a bit too all over the place for me, I think."



That's the thing though, they incorporate the violin and sax so naturally that I find it's far from scattered. The only thing potentially out of place are the vocals, but even then they're an effective fit for the theme and atmosphere.



@Spirit bless up, fam, we ridin to the top.

I actually busted out laughing at the vocals/lyrics at one point. Comically dramatic. However, it's nice that I can understand (most of) them, that's a plus.

tbh extreme/experimental sides of metal are kinda known for their dramatic leanings and vocal choices, that's nothing out of the ordinary.

Yeah, but that doesn't make it good. Just my opinion but it's pretty distracting so far.

Guess it never felt out of the ordinary lol, different but not in a negative manner.
