Definitely one of this year's Black Metal essentials, the combined efforts of Annatar from Sombres Forêts and Icare & Neptune from Gris have possibly even become one of the best Black Metal releases that Canada has seen to this day, creating a style not unlike that which Amesoeurs could have developed if they had grown within the confines of Black Metal rather than incorporating Cold Wave into their art. Needless to say, this album is highly recommended for fans of both Gris & Sombres Forêts as well as early Amesoeurs and similar bands.
