NWW blend nostalgia for the old ways of BM with an uncompromising excitement and energy. Melodic and gothic tones (reminiscent for example, of CradleOfFilth) are struck in this record. hallowedhalls
One of the best American metal bands - they put to shame their European counterparts in style and genre (bands like Dimmu Borgir). The only 'flaw' that any VS album has ever had was the production being flat and compressed sounding to an extraordinary degree, but it doesn't matter. Phenomenal album. Pleeeeeeassse release Psychotic Sculpture and BTCE on BC! This album is exceedingly good. Quite underrated. Archmage Orladin
Bridging Nordic black metal with traditional Celtic folk, the Idaho crushers forge heavy music with a heroic medieval spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2023
Very lush expansive doom, lots of different arrangements and choral vocals, slow and sad and full of regret. Extremely high quality stuff. Sounds like a life’s work. Also quite heavy. Jono Schneider
