5.0 classicOmeggia | October 13th 14

This is the shit right here, atmospheric masterpiece drenched in somber darkness.

5.0 classicDopeFiend88 | November 12th 14

Mare Cognitum's first two full-lengths were phenomenal, not to mention the unbelievable split album "Sol" with
Spectral Lore but damn Phobos Monolith really impressed me. It's beautiful, melodic and has an atmosphere
that just reeks of melancholy, yet at the same time it manages to be very dark, and somewhat ominous as
well. Essential atmospheric/ambient black metal... "Weaving the Thread of Transcendence" is definitely one of
the most epic songs released this year. breath taking.

3.4 greatErwann S. EMERITUS | August 26th 24

Cosmic tremz and some of the best programmed drums do kinda (but not entirely) make up for the songs' lack of punchiness. When it does punch it's absolutely epic but I wish it didn't only happen in the second half.

upping this to 4.5 after more listens - damn it's good, also check out the song from the split with Spectral Lore, it's just as good. So are the other releases from Mare
