I still haven't heard this. Is it even black metal at all?

It has black metal-styled vocals and trem riffs so in that respect, yes

i mean it obviously has influences or else it wouldn't be labelled as such

Half BM, half post rock does seem fairly accurate. It's not like Wolves in the Throne Room where the post rock shit is sort of absorbed into the black metal. It's all pretty hopeful and melodic.

I need to give it a full listen again. I did it once, and the interludes didn't do much for me. After that I pretty much stuck with the full length songs.

Without the interludes you're essentially jumping from a 9 minute song to a 10 minute song, then from that to a 15 minute and then that to a 12 minute. That wouldn't be easily digestible, so the interludes are needed

I can probably think of a lot of BM that does just that and worked fine, but I see your point.

Yeah I guess that makes sense if you're like ya know, not at all acclimated to black metal or extreme/experimental music at all.

It's not that I'm not acclimated to extreme music lol, there's certainly albums that could do that and pull it off but I don't think this is one of them

Most times bm bands do that they have some sort of slow warm-up/warm-down which serve as intros/outros and make listening to multiple slabs of 10-minute+ chunks of music more bearable. I guess sun bat her doesn't have much of that, sans Vertigo, but I don't find that much of a negative here.

Well in an interview they said that the interludes were just little bits they composed and couldn't really fit anywhere into the songs. So perhaps the intention was to create those warm-up/warm-downs as you've pointed out, but they realised it didn't flow well.

the first one should've been the outro to Dream House but I suppose worked better as an individual piece. The other two were pretty pointless and didn't fit at all.
