Review:
A young american bands that draws strong influence from the nordic music scene, in particular norwegian, modern black metal. Their hard sound is mainly a mix between Dimmu Borgir and Enslaved, with softer, long passages resembling Anekdoten w/out the mellotron.
They've made well-structured songs, w rly good, progressive melodies on their first full-length album.

Recommended.
