A pariah lives in our midst. Rats of plague dwelling in debris, nocturnal scavengers, gnawing the dead, afflicting the living. I excise you as tumor or necrotic limb. Banished to the arid wastes, may your lot find death’s refuge. The lepers in exile, yet disease reigns. My hand moves to cleanse this land. By sword we purge the filth that clogs its veins, the foulest basest beings and poison vapors spread from mouths of perfidy. A purified domain, emptiness within. Beckoning return of outcast hordes, to usurp and enthrone rot.

I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
Suffocating black metal in the Swedish style that mercifully throws in a bit of melody to save the listener from total darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 29, 2017
Tempering death metal riffs with goth rock melodies, the Finnish outfit deliver a commendable, unsuspectingly catchy slab of fury. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 29, 2023
