VIBRATING
Prosperity Gospel
Volcanic cavalcade rumbles, Vibrating across savannas. Jungles lie flat as the ocean With rafts of swords and spears Unspent nuclear shells pierce the horizon Pyroclastic songs Clanging throughout the caldera Echoes of the dead Ten city blocks abuzz with music: sickened glass resonators, hurdy gurdy loopings, angle grinder blues, Lava flows where subways once snaked Through ancient burial sites Wash your feet in a hot spring Let the earth be silent after yo

"[T]heir version of a progressive and modern black metal imbued with post-rock and post-hardcore influences is varied, complex, technical but also melodic a lot of the times, not just relying on power and aggression (of which they absolutely don't lack). They might also bring into mind at times the most forward-thinking and experimental bands of the Norwegian scene, like Virus and Fleurety, as the guitar riffs often turn into unexpected territories, while the vocals also often show an interesting theatrical and dramatic approach.

The recording is truly excellent in quality and the performance of the band is stellar, showing a clear way forward of progression from their already very promising debut. "Society of the Spectral" is an exciting listen from start to end and places itself as a big contender for album of the year, and we will not be at all surprised if the band breaks out into a much wider audience with it." - ANTI-FASCIST BLACK METAL NETWORK
