Clean playing, synths and spoken words start off the album before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing and the vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal scremas.
A lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90';s era of the genre while the solos and leads also stick to an old school style. Elements of death metal can also be heard in some of the guitar riffing along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts as well as a few tracks also bringing in the brutality of war metal.
On this recording Dark Goat goes for more of a traditional 90's style of black metal as well as adding in some touches of war and death create to create a very aggressive album. The production sounds very raw and old school while the lyrics cover occultism, introspection. darkness and destruction themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding recording from Dark Goat and if you are a fan of old school black metal, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Endless Island" "The Tzar's Magician" and "Lotus Eater". 8 out of 10.
