Review

This is the debut EP for this Polish band about who very little info is available—not even a list of pseudonyms for the band roster. If you go in expecting cold, grim Black Metal that sounds like it comes out of Poland, then this is that, exactly. This is a bit more developed than what would be the most primitive music of this kind; in fact, it has a lot of melody and mood buried in the unfriendly mix, and I like that. This recalls some other cold bands like Lunar Aurora or Nehemah, and with neither of those bands still recording, this is a welcome blast of evil. A band to watch.
