  According to the notes, this album was entirely composed by one guy during the COVID lockdowns, and the re-recorded last year with a full lineup.

  I like it a lot. It's intense and epic, and feels a lot more in-the-moment and (for lack of better phrasing) up front than a lot of black metal.

  All that said, I will point you to the second-to-last track—"Shores Of Extinction"—where they slow it down a bit. It is a heavy, grinding affair like the one last march that the lyrics describe, and it is exceptionally good.
