  Thematic/lyrical content: cosmic horror, occult, spiritual darkness

  Not for the feint of heart, The Womb of the World is just as terrifying as it is entrancing. The cavernous and unsettling atmosphere crafted by Qrixkuor here is at times dense and suffocating and at others strange and beautiful and even occasionally rings true and triumphant. The addition of a full orchestra to accompany the traditional metal instrumentation expands the scope of this work into unfathomable territories and adds an unbelievable depth of sound that leaves you remembering the feelings you felt rather than specific musical moments.

  Not an everyday kind of listen but when the time is right, The Womb of the Worlds is a special and rare kind of experience.
