Anyone happen to know what’s up with the lyric booklet including a pic of the drummer holding smth with the black sun on it? Kinda weird that the band condemned the singer’s dumb anti semetic remarks while this pic is still included on reissues

That's frankly disturbing. Is there any way someone can use the black sun in 2022 without the problematic connotations?

Did some research, the answer is no.

You can have a black sun as a part of some art, there's a specific design that we know as the nazi black sun that's different. It's typically really recognizable.

Actually some people find flirting with nazism to be a bit problematic

I literally wanted any possible clarification on this album's booklet having a fucking black sun lmao. Even Transilvanian Hunger had its "Norwegian Aryan Black Metal" message removed from its back cover after the first press. You would think something similar would happen after the band tried to distance themselves from John's Facebook remarks

Idiot racist views aside, this is still gorgeous. I justify my future love of this by deciding the rest of the band are nice fellows...

This has held up very well for me - Fire Above, Ice Below into Not Unlike The Waves is god-tier.

In a moment of clarity I have (re)decided this is definitely their best, Marrow is getting dropped so this can stand alone.
