What a wonderful album, I was kinda expecting something dark and grim and a bit more blackened, but this is so beautifully melancholic. It's like a combo of DSBM and death doom rather than atmospheric black imo, the guitar work is mesmerizing, there's so many beautiful melodies, and it's such an incredibly passionate performance.

Edit: This is officially my first 9 rated album this year, one hell of a release!

DSBM + Death/Doom? I'm going to check this out!

I do hear doomy passages (more in the earlier parts of some songs), but it is perhaps more so atmo-black/blackgaze to my ears, particularly in the latter stages of the songs that have a lot of dainty tremolo melodies. Still, having those extra doomy elements do add a certain something to it compared with more straight atmo-black

Beautiful compositions. I pick my jaw up off the floor after the first listen. I wish for more such wonderful debuts.

I'm not a big fan of atmospheric black metal but this one touch me deeply.

An AOTY contender right here.
