Great EP. I like the acoustic parts, the synths, granting a mystical touch, these catchy riffs, the vocals are very unique, we regognize Illum Adora between thousand by his atmosphere, very solid & limpid release. Medieval, epic, hateful, necromantic, I follow Illum Adora since the beginning and i've never been disappointed with the project. Trve Black Metal with atmospheric vibes, killer riffs, rough vocals from the depths of Hell, no reproaches, this record is absolute hammer! Cadavre_Sombre (Midgard_OBM)
Good EP in the old tradition, dynamic, full of energy, without frills and dynamic with great riffs with Thrash Metal vibes on some passages about the riffing, I like the drums, vocals variations are still there, powerfull release with good compositions, granted as always with an efficient cover art. Magical, technical, and pure Black Metal. Cadavre_Sombre (Midgard_OBM)

Everything is good with Illum Adora, excellent compositions, Black Metal with melodic riffs, well furious, unretless, the vocals are still excellent with nice variations, atmospheric, melodious, powerful, with a great ambience. Personnaly, I find each release different but nothing is to throw with this project. Amazing Black Metal with even Dungeon Synth vibes, a must have.
