Treeline
Higher than 58% of albums we've rated

Long, cyclic songs and the shifts between lurching riffs and faster attacks give its raw black-metal framework a specific, persistent character.

What we noticed

  • The opening track runs two titles together and stretches past nine minutes, letting repeated tremolo-picked phrases carry a long, unpolished opening statement.
  • Across the record, fast drum passages give way to slower, lurching riff cycles; the thin, buried vocal stays a rasp rather than becoming a clear melodic lead.
  • The final track also joins two titled sections, giving the album a long closing stretch rather than a brief, sharply separated finale.

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.
