Flying on wings of carbon fiber Hubris luxurious downward spiral The first life of the new The last plane crash The sun setting on the years The Fates surmounted by growing scorn The first life of the new The last plane crash

"[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
