Chillout black metal. I don't usually enjoy
this style at all but I always come back to
Noltem when I want something brisk and
melodious. It's rare for a band to do black
metal in a less aggressive way without
seeming commercial or banal, but somehow
they manage it. Fucking gorgeous solos too!
Edit: Obsequiae are the other band in this
style that I really appreciate, similarly
airy and sweeping vibes.

A lukewarm post black metal attempt. Everything's been done before and much better and exciting. Destined to fall into obscurity.

| 3.5 great | didnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | November 5th 21 |
Points for one of the best album covers this year. Here is an album mostly incurious in finding its own creative paths, but carefully utilising black metal tropes paved and perfected before. Their writing is not mind-blowing by any metric, but their confidence is admirable and the merciful runtime does not let even the dulles ideas overstay their welcome.
