I very much prefer my black metal atmospheric. And I very much my atmospheric black metal constructed in a more intricate and interesting way than just repetition of some landscapic motifs. 'Effigy of Nightmares' is that to an extent, but mostly delivers an eerie dungeon-y gloom with surprisingly well executed instrumentals and a more old school heaviness.

Effigy of Nightmares is a pleasant surprise. Full disclosure, I was expecting this record to be a reasonably well done if completely non-memorable slab of gloomy black metal. Valdrin do check off quite a few of those boxes - BBs, tremolos, etc. But the riffs impart a great deal of melody, the shrieks are mixed at a proper volume, and the atmosphere is both present and dissonant.
