Was pointed their way on another board and have been totally loving this. It is very majestic, soundtrack-like black metal. First two tracks, Nihil and Loss, won me over on the first listen.

Recommended if you like (epic/neoclassical) black metal, film scores, Virgin Black, Summoning, Lacrimosa, Agalloch, etc

Sound quality on this vid isn't as good as it should be, the bandcamp page is a better way to go.

Really digging this so far. I'm about halfway through Loss. Wish I had brought my good headphones to the office today.

This is fuckin' solid, dude. Thanks for the recommendation.

Good band. Aussie has a great scene right now.

Been enjoying the new album a lot these past couple days. Considered getting a t-shirt until I saw the price. $43?! Really, dude?

One time I spent $85 on a shirt.. and yes, I regret it.

I got to majestic before I started losing interest and Agalloch before I closed the thread.

I'm sure you do haha. I spent close to $40 on one but that included shipping from Norway and the fact that the shirt was 20 euros. Worth it though, love the shirt.

Great band.

australian hipster?

they always have.

Bowties are never hipster. That shit's straight up classy.

that does seem like a pretty high price, even for a very nice shirt. oh well

I spent 38 in a bid war on ebay for a deathrace king shirt...

naw he totally looks like a fagget

Also I have two different aquilus demos from maybe five years ago that arent nearly as good as the album.

Halfway through the record and I like this, but it also seems kind of...aimless and meandering I guess. Is that what bands/reviewers mean when they talk about film scores?

Anyhow, thanks for posting it!

After a couple of listens, this totally reminds me of the new Wintersun record. Except on downers instead of whatever super-ritalin Jari was railing.

listened to this today. enjoyed it.
