Poopy intro, but when the noise starts rolling you can kiss your sweet ass goodbye.

Xasthur nails out some of the creepiest transcendental black metal I’ve ever heard here. Very droning and cold, raw as ever --dissonant to the core. This is the musical equivalent of the voices from the dead taped directly from white noise broadcasts. This is perhaps one of the most sinister out of Moribund’s entire catalogue. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.

Perfectly drives home that spine tingling feeling of stepping into a violently evil haunted house. Funeral-fucking-dirge. Review by Ryan Bartek
