It seems like their previous album, Exilium, was only released last year, but no; it was actually 2014. So here we are now, with another 46 minutes of their dark and malevolent brand of blackened death.

Oooh this is ugly, underground stuff that’s as raw and hurtful as having your face shaved off with a blunt razor.
