4.0 excellentChoccyPhilly | May 5th 14

The album cover is a picture from a mental institute, with no effects added onto it. The photo resembles this ralbums perfectly; a land that's dark, brooding and hopeless. Simply from listening to the opening notes, rit's clear that this album resonates an atmosphere of desolation with dissonant polyrhythms before bursting rto full throttle with the opener. Much of this follows the same path: a consistent, sometimes terrifying and rdepressing experience all the way until the dying notes scream "why have you left me here?". It's astonishing rwhat Thantifaxath has created on a whole and a single note doesn't feel misplaced or unnecessary. Possibly rthe only negative of this is how the ambient track, "Eternally Falling", drags on for longer than it should, rhowever, it still plays an integral part to the albums flawless flow and feel. It's safe to say that the album taps rinto some of the more desperate human emotions of depressing and aggressiveness. However, there is no rsympathy here, simply a void of where optimism used to be. Just like the album cover suggests, they're all rjust voices in my head.

Thantifaxath delivers Morbid, otherworldly, transfixing nightmare fuel

3.7 greatVoivod STAFF | August 31st 14

Canada's Thantifaxath have emerged to the surface with an album that does a little more than encapsulating the essential traits of adventurous black metal... The arrangements are ferociously executed, some really demented atmospheres and melodies intervene within the traditional black metal patterns, while the sound production has granted the album the transcendental aura every black metal album of this sort needs. The above being said, it's merely a matter of time for Thantifaxath to find that extra "something" in order to further separate themselves from their peers in the future.

Sacred White Noise is Thantifaxath at their most successful: their dissoatmoblack formula especially shines here thanks to more seamless and dynamic changes, as well as overall better songwriting.
