Press
''Debut CDR from this English band, containing three tracks of old school black metal with melodic elements - think early Burzum, Nargaroth or Borknagar. As so often on demos, the songs are strangled by a tinny and distant production, and the guitar sound is a little clean for my tastes (there are even solos!), but there's a decent band in here somewhere. Download these tracks for free and check it out yourself.'' - Reviewed by Simon Collins in Zero Tolerance #007 (Sept/Oct 2005)
