A very fast and raw sound starts off the album along with a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly high pitched black metal screams while most of the tracks are also very long and epic in length as well as the riffs also adding in some melodies and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Synths and psychedelic soundscapes are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while operatic female vocals are also utilized at times. The album also has its avant garde moments along with the heavier sections of the music also being very heavily rooted in the second wave era of the genre.
Throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with some tracks also adding in whispered vocals and spoken words. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also being in more of a modern approach to the genre as well as a couple of songs also adding in a small amount of clean playing, clear male vocals can also be heard briefly. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics are written in German and cover Occultism themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Junon and if you are a fan of psychedelic occult black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Propheten der blauen Flamme" and "Dolorosa". 8 out of 10.
