Icelandic black metal has been all the rage the last few years, and it's really not hard to see why; twisting, cavernous, and more aggressive, there is a certain magic that Icelandic BM and by extension, Sinmara, have in spades. Eerily melodic at times, the dichotomy of DsO-esque cacophony and cold, frozen harmony are well-representing throughout, creating excellent and contrasting counterpoints. A dense, but thoroughly enjoyable listen.r
