Top tracks — play these first

  • →
    March of Black Assemblies — The short opening sets a ceremonial frame before the longer assaults that follow.
  • →
    My Soul for Your Victory — Its martial framing fits the record’s atmosphere of struggle and ritual.
  • →
    Abyssic & Funeral Symphony - An Ode to Our Ruin — Its grandly funereal framing contrasts with the record’s rough underground presentation.
  • →
    Tepes - The Unweeping — At nearly eight minutes, it gives the record substantially more room to develop than the surrounding tracks.
