Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Its keyboard-backed, mythic black metal writing has enough pacing contrast to reward returns, while the raw execution and genre conventions limit its distinction.
What we noticed
- Sustained keyboard lines sit behind tremolo-picked guitar and rapid drums, giving the songs an orchestral layer without replacing the raw black-metal attack.
- The seven-track sequence moves from “My Eyes Are Frozen” to “Yggdrasil's Children Fall,” with Norse-mythic names and imagery tying the songs together.
- Fast passages are broken by slower, more spacious sections, so the record does not hold one blast-beat pace from beginning to end.

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.
