it was never easy for Aort to handle the line-up, but this time round it was a real challenge to come back with completely new people, after losing the original singer, the genius Khvost; however, his successor Wacian proves to be a worthy choice, stepping in those large shoes quite firmly - it takes a bit of time to realize his abilities are no less convincing, and matter-of-factly, the intrigue within these twelve tracks knocks you out completely just after some seven or eight spins; brand new material confirms the band's position in extreme postmodern metal world, displaying a multifaceted approach from otherworldly clean passages to barbed metallic riffery, filtered through a refined prism of avantgarde, yet always capturing the band's distinct eerie and arcane vibe; first press digipak edition comes with sixteen page booklet
