Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Rotating guest voices give the ten-song run some character, while the tightly focused riff-and-blast approach keeps its writing within familiar black-metal territory.
What we noticed
- The ten-song album proper ends with “Woe”; “Funeral Rites” and “Twisted Mass of Burnt Decay” appear as appended cover tracks on the catalogued edition.
- Guest vocalists rotate across the songs, changing the vocal timbre while the record keeps its fast, riff-led black-metal framework.
- The sequence moves from the opening “Dødsrite” through a run of forceful mid-album tracks to the closing “Woe,” without a long instrumental break or a major stylistic detour.

Known within its scene. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
