There is almost enough in this epic 63 minute single track album to recommend, but taken as the overblown whole that it is, can be quite overwhelming and deadening. I will take this review as an opportunity to say that the acoustic section from the 6th to 22nd minute is probably my favorite part - overlong, definitely, but still hypnotic. When the real black metal kicks in, it's quite hard to distinguish standout moments - and the atmosphere remains consistent for 40 minutes straight to the end. There are small patches which are standout, 49:28 for instance is a great interlude. It's probably not the sort of album I'll listen to much, or one I can simply get into. But it's still alright for what it is, so check it out if you don't mind strange black metal with folk and ambient elements. The first 6 minutes are a field recording of rain by the way.
