Xalpen - MLP III-Cover-WEB.jpg

“Intro,” a haunting serenade that sets the tone quite nicely. “Kay Taw,” a dark menacing giant looming in the shadows, preparing to destroy anything and everything before it. “In Darkness Remains,” another song that verges from one point to another, bringing heaviness and melody. “The Vengeance,” a song that barrels and snarls and growls. It is quite compact and divergent from the get go.

“Chant to Xosh,” a song that grits and bites, tearing itself one way and then another, producing something that is quite intriguing, whilst also being quite dark. “Oculus Australis,” a song that is filled with death chants, roaring melodies and confused back stops is an interesting song for the times. “The Barn Owl,” perfectly closes things up.

The album is out now via  Morbid Skull Records.
