The previous albums have been among the very best of Black Metal, with vocals so powerful as to rival the most brutal in death metal, and music so chilling, dramatic, and sophisticated that the band may have created a unique subgenre.

This is another exceptional album.

The vocals have many forms. They are chilling at times, with an intensity unmatched by any other band. The words are delivered frighteningly, as if by a demon, a god, or a magus. It is almost like voice-acting, delivering horror in the most dramatic form possible. Every song makes me feel like I just survived hell.

The music, superbly produced and exquisitely performed, sends me on mental journeys. This must be savored with closed eyes.

If you have not heard Acherontas, do not just buy this album. Buy them all, and plan to do nothing else for a few hours because your journey will be long, and you will not want to return. Stay in the abyss this music creates.
