From a lyrical/thematic standpoint, the amount of knowledge and researched required to pull off an album like this is a feat itself. The music is just as impressive and pairs so beautifully with the themes and aesthetics. For the twelve other people out there looking for Norman Conquest themed black metal, this is THE album for you.
absolutely gorgeous, stunning album full of whimsy, epic riffs, and raw, beautiful vocals. obsequiae truly takes melodic and medieval inspired black metal to new heights and i have yet to find another band that can compare.
