This is a beautifully scorching multilayered atmospheric black metal album that I loved at first listen and still grows on me even more with every spin. From beginning to end it doesnt let up with the riffs and the multi howl attack. Im looking forward to the next one and really anything Mare Cognitum is involved in. stevenbeverage
Wallfahrer liefern mit ihrem Erstling ein solide produziertes melodisch-misanthropisches Pagan Black Metal Album ab, welches sich ausschließlich textlich als solches definiert und zu meinem Wohlgefallen auf - für dieses Genre übliche - musikalische Auswüchse verzichtet. Textlich ist es nicht zwingend menschenverachtend, aber ablehnend gegenüber der (kapitalistischen) Gesellschaft und ihren Zwängen, sowie der durch den Menschen institutionalisierten Religiösität.

I don't really like black metal much. But... this is pitched far enough from the archetypes of the genre that I can actually enjoy it as the beautiful piece of progressive metal that it is. Lethologica82
I wasn't ready for this album, but it burst into my life through a brick wall like the Kool-Aid man on methamphetamines and beat the living daylights out of me just for the hell of it. As others have mentioned, this is an unrelenting and vicious slab of chaotic blackened death metal that levels everything in its path, takes no prisoners, and is not for the weak of heart. If there is a Guinness Book of World Record entry for metal, then the drummer of this band should be included. PannionSeer
