"People keep approaching this with a mindset that this isn't "true black metal" whic is lame. Get your head out of your ass."



Doesn't matter if it's true or not...who cares. But it's still average metal. But of course this is entirely relative. I have had huge experience with metal in the past, so relative to me, this is averagely good at best. It does nothing new, the songwriting is the opposite of inventive, and the riffs and ideas are not presented in a way that makes this stand out among everything else I've heard akin to this.

you realize it's only people like andcas talking about faux black metal right? this is still very much tr00 black

metal



No one's talking about it being faux black metal. Do you like making up facts?



you're mocking imaginary purists which is exactly my point.






sooooo....... these completely contradict the first paragraph of the review.

does it?



It's no lie that any effort to bring something new to black metal can be rather polarizing unless

it already has ties within the genre. Even the geography of the band can make a big difference as to

how well it will be recieved, which is a shame, because there's some genuinely great black metal that

comes from the US, all of the negative hype aside. This band definitely fall victim to such negative

press for all of the wrong reasons as opposed to, by large, the quality of their music.

yes... that paragraph says that many purists reject bands such as this for their location, and other reasons that make a band "untrve"......but apparently such people do not exist.

they don't exist on this site which was my point, i don't see how opinions from other sites are

relevant to this one but hey if you do then that's on you



kinda hard not to when you're trying to defend the album against it


so you're defending this album on Sputnik from opinions that exist outside of it? wow

also, this



for me it looks like youre just desperatively searching for flaws rather than soak into this wonderful album and let the minor flaws be overshadowed by its grand atmosphere.

lol it's funny how the only people who talk about it being faux-black metal are the people attempting to defend it



don't you mean gay ass hipster posers pretending to be black metal?



Stop digging your own grave around here andcas.



Haha, this accusation is always funny to me, that because I claim a review isn't intelligent (poorly strung ideas, terrible grammar) I'm suddenly that. I would very much like to read a well-reasoned argument against this album; this isn't it.



I've never seen you get so defensive on this site, that's what I was meaning.

the first paragraph serves mostly just to tell you what perspective i'm coming from rather than me being lumped into the elitists, that's all

yeah i know. and i understand that. i'm saying it's weird that you're distancing yourself from said "elitists" and other guys on here are saying such people dont even exist.
