"yep another modern bm attempt that doesnt really go anywhere" [2] Exactly. It's just not interesting enough to justify the hype around it. It sounds okay, but generally: very forgettable songs, boring lyrics, boring artwork etc.

Has the opposite problem of the debut by being a little overstuffed thanks to a needless Bathory cover and a couple of too-lengthy epics, but ultimately a subtle improvement to Blackbraid I. Will not assuage the kvlt crowd though, BB still have obvious ambitions for stardom within the confines of extreme music.

Not sure where the "indigenous" part comes into play, really. We have enough average, throwback bm that has little personality outside its old-school pastiche nature.

What at first sounds like a relatively standard riff forward bm album unfolds into probably the best album of 2023. Twilight hymn of ancient blood invokes black metal?s thrashing roots, moss covered bones on the altar of the moon is a pitch perfect representation of and logical next step for this brand of melodic and cascadian-adjacent black metal. The spirit returns is the only song I?ve seen a black metal play live and a pit started for. I?ll say less, listen to it.

As boring, shallow and non-memorable as the debut was.
