Ippocalyptica This album surprised me as much as Deafheaven’s New Bermuda did upon its release five years earlier, and it is nearly just as impressive of a post-black metal tour de force. SOMN have demonstrated beyond any doubt their grasp of the style, and could very well surpass Deafheaven’s opus on their next release. The All-devouring emanates fusion reactor-level energy levels and demands from its listener a strong emotional investment, with the results being both hypnotic and cathartic. Good stuff!

YomaBarr This.
This is excellent. Sol Sistere level.
The first riff in Awe is pure Mgła. Which is fitting.
The artwork should be noted, too.

Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass) A very consuming and demanding album, but one with nothing but rewards to give. It's such a wonderful and pleasant listen, every time the final track starts my heart rises in excited anticipation. Favorite track: The All-devouring.

Valdyr666 Quite possibly the most criminally underrated blackgaze release of recent years. Absolutely stunning from front to back. Favorite track: Tempest.

about

Who are we really that we are capable of such horrifying acts in our dreams; That our mind can be both so twisted or so grandiose and wonderful in its liberated creation?

There are times we want to dream because it frees our soul and amplifies vision, yet sometimes we fear to sleep because our demons eagerly await to take over our mind. They fuel the anxiety that keeps us hypervigilant and awake at night and the kind of animal fear that consumes us as we reluctantly fall asleep.

Oh the night is merciless and long. Come, hold my hand and sing for me that song. Soon I shall leave you behind, soon I shall leave all I know behind. Soon sleep shall take me.
