I was lucky enough to pick up one of the 100 copies of this album out there, and I suppose for rarity alone I considered it worth having. That and it's a one track album, like 90% of my musical consumption and collection.

This particular album track is pretty boring to be honest. It's a mostly ambient album with some (or, a lot) of black metal fuzz that gives off a low quality vibe, and later on, some funeral doom influence with raspy vocals. The ambient is, perhaps unsurprisingly where the album is actually the best, but then it's pretty hard to botch ambiance.

There is a fifteen minute buildup to the black metal/funeral doom parts, and the wait is pretty excruciating, as fifteen minutes of fuzzy ambient is a bit much of a wait, especially when it doesn't grab your attention and hold it for that long.

Nonetheless, given just how obscure this album is, I doubt it will find many listeners, so this review is sort of a moot point. I'll just say it's decent, but hardly stands up to repeat listens.
