While Australian black metal unit Mesarthim do go out of their way to incorporate a neat idea or two on their full-length debut album, the payoff is not very satisfactory at all. Isolate's harsher moments and its more danceable, fartsy atmosphere whenever both characteristics collide result in a rather messy record which could've worked better in theory. Its lack of cohesion hurts the quality of the LP, which sucks because there is a decent album buried beneath all this crap.
