Some genuinely interesting stuff here, sounds like Deathspell Omega, but still isn't quite a
carbon copy. They have doses of the aforementioned band's bizarreness, but Ascension resort
more on traditional black metal riffs and more intelligible vocals, which works just fine to
me. Enough of comparisons, if you're interested in finding new black metal that isn't a
cheap rip-off of countless old bands, give this (and their second album Consolamentum) a listen.
