The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

This duo from Berlin is playing raw black metal reminiscent of the second wave, yet the production is crystal clear, with some nice guitar riffs and occasional tremolo picking, the drums are also well distinct, the raspy vocals right in the typical tones, not too much in the background, like in some low-fi old school style. It's slower, but captivating. This is the duo's sophomore album, 4 long track actually, released already in 2017. Lyrics are in German, aber natürlich! sachavonkarl74
The metal’s band revelatory new record crosses genres and styles, effortlessly combining seemingly incompatible subgenres. Bandcamp Album of the Day Apr 26, 2024
2021 was yet another great year for all varieties of extreme metal, but I'm still amazed this didn't get more attention - I only came across it based on a recommendation for the Kôr side project, which is also fantastic. Melodic, triumphant, and just raw enough. T.K.S.
