| Apocryphos Stone Speak |
| Excellent 'dark' ambient and undoubtedly one of the best cryochamber releases - although dark is hardly an apt descriptor ; it's mellifluous, uplifting, mezmeric yet also significantly more dynamic than is standard for the genre. If you fancy 48 minutes of introspective transcendence or some bombastic shit to that effect, this album (coupled with a pair of good headphones and perhaps some herb) can surely provide the perfect soundscape. |

| Superb dark ambient infused with industrial/minimal percussion which transports the listener to the heart of a decrepit metropolis shrouded in fog and mystery as a chtonic force which has lay dormant for centuries begins to rouse. Biggest epiphany just now along the lines of I desperately need a day job and a missus. |

A well executed slab of pulverizing death metal infused with strong elements of it's better
looking, wealthier cousin Black metal. Inhuman gutturals, blast beats and machine gun riffing
from front to back - the album offers the listener no respite from the sonic bludgeoning for
the entirety of its duration. Fortunately this is only 28 minutes and expires before the
music has a chance to grow stale. Couple this with an aptly crystal-clear production which
allows every dissonant lead to cut through the mix, we're left with a damn potent yet
digestible product. So there's really no excuse for not checking it now that you've read
this; if your time was that precious you wouldn't be browsing soundoffs on sputnikmusic. |

| Dope nocturnal, fluid instrumentals underpin a captivating vocal performance ranging from ethereal whispers to soaring croons to almost cloud rap esque impassive rap from this buxom bish. I'll probably play it out and never listen again in a week as with everything I've remotely enjoyed, but for now it's hitting the spot. |
| Tinashe BB/ANG3L |
Her majesty has graced us with another beauty: sublime vocals, lyrics that somehow eschew kitschiness and incredible
production that veers into UK garage and even drum and bass territory. The only complaint is that it?s over before you
know it and some ideas could and should have been further developed, but if it?s any indication about where she is
headed, great things line her horizon and the handful of cementheads I’ve seen opine that she’s past her prime oughta
choke on their words (plus she’s only just hit 30) |

An emotive medley of disparate piano/synth passages which is as poignant as it is unsettling.
Not quite an essential release in Ulvers discography but an underappreciated work
nonetheless. P.S Sinister really wouldn't have achieved the slightest semblance of terror
without this baby, and even so what a waste of a strong premise...in what world is a man
dressed in a walmart-tier black metal costume with a gang of mute autistic disciples
considered scary? Still an utter masterpiece in comparison to the woeful sequel. I digress;
Overall 3.75/5 if I wasn't a commoner who can only rate in integers |
