Probably my AOTY. Phenomenal album. Magnus has long been one of the most underrated drummers in the scene and he kills it here. Þórir has developed such a unique and beautiful style approach to the guitar, and Sturla's vocals are still utterly destructive. The entire album is just a hellscape of decay and ruin, but interspersed with moments of beauty and melancholy. Delivered on everything I expected from this album.

this is definitely a grower... was at first disappointed because I expected a Flesh Cathedral 2.0. But the EP's should already have made clear Svartidaudi don#t want to play that anymore... really good melodies, Magnus drumming is amazing and I really like that Dorir is showing his ability for some really goosebumps-inducing melodies here. I still think svartidaudi don't have already found their "sound" yet and you could trim a few parts. That being said... if they continue to improve, they will be capable of a real treat of an album in the future, I'm damn sure. we have at least 3 more albums to expect, if they stick to their element- concept (earth was flesh cathedral, revelations is fire, means there is still air, water and ether/mind left)
