Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Its cycling riffs and shifts in pace give the songs shape, while the raw, ritual-minded black-metal vocabulary keeps the writing within a familiar frame.
What we noticed
- The eight tracks are full songs rather than an intro-and-outro frame; guitar riffs establish the movement before the harsh vocals enter.
- Tremolo-picked phrases recur over cycling rhythms, with blast-beat passages giving way to slower, heavier sections rather than keeping one speed.
- The vocal remains a rough, forceful layer over the guitars, while the arrangements leave little space for clean or ambient interludes.

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.
