Orphan

Truly unique in its concept and execution, an easy favourite. Those one-note monochords play the stereo field nicely, great use of synths and pads, sparse but efficient vocals. Ritual, droney, occult...what's not to love? Plug in, tune in, drop out. Deadpanist

This album is like staring into a possessed mirror. You see your reflection, it's somewhat human, but in the background, demons are viciously clawing at your back. Definitely going to make my year end list for 2021. Robert C. Kozletsky

To Crown All Befoulment
by DEARTH

supported by 6 fans who also own “Speculum Humanae Salvationis”

I will readily and openly admit I’m not a big death metal guy, but this album has such a perfect blend of death and black metal that it was basically love at first blast beat. It combines all my favorite aspects of death and black metal with basically none of the parts I don’t like, so I can’t help but recommend this one. It grabs you by the throat from the moment it starts and doesn’t stop till the end. Kirk Gauthier
