A really pleasant surprise! Tomb of the Lunar Oracle is a quite straight-forward atmoblack album, perhaps a bit more melodic than the average. But it stands out with its modern(-ish) sound, plus with the virtuoso guitar and synth solos within. I'd expect a sci-fi/space-themed black metal album to be more synth-driven, but I actially dig this beefier riffing too, since the atmosphere and the heaviness is well-balanced. Very strong for a debut album!
