2.5 average | zaruyache | May 16th 18 | Your standard 1997 black metal demo that sounds both intentionally raw and as if it's being played by a band not fully comfortable with the material, or how to properly tune their instruments. The band play a style of black metal sort of reminiscent to early Satyricon with its constant use of background keyboards and tendency to keep everything slow-to-mid-paced, but also instrumentally has an almost early Opeth feel as well. The demo flows like any of the 10+ minute tracks from Orchid, kind of just going on and on randomly until deciding to stop. Black metal like this doesn't have that much need of proper structuring, though, so this definitely doesn't hold the album back. It's not great at all, but it's not a bad little demo, either. It's just simple sloppy black metal (albeit with some actually great shrieks).
