The droves:
Forward they plod,
Driven forth by their shadows.
Cries of anguish fill their lungs
As the weight of the yoke
Under which they toil
Bears down upon their shoulders.
A yoke of invention and reinvention.
An apparition masquerading as revealed truth.
The yoke of good news.
Under the strain they groan.
Under the gaze of their
Blind watchmaker
They clamber forth
—the droves—
Trudging through a world viewed in
Monochrome,
Eyes cast only up or down.

Quite possibly the most full-on album I've ever listened to. Intense, and then some. 'Digital Tarpit' could describe both the track and the whole album: high-pitched guitar squeals that make your fillings itch coupled with merciless, suffocating heaviness. The Avenell-esque vocals top it off perfectly.
Brilliant - punishing, but brilliant. jim_fuego

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
