After the last two negative opinions I'm glad to be able to get back to saying
"Fuck yeah! Thanks for the rec!!"

Hands up here anyone who thought I'd ever dig Black Metal? Really? Not a single one? Me neither. But this is something special. As Ninetales relates in another thread, this is a one-woman effort with Amalie Bruun --- oddly enough, a member of a POP band called Ex Cops, but perhaps NOT oddly, a model: I mean, look at her! --- fusing hard Black Metal guitar riffs and pounding drum fusillades with soft, atmospheric, ambient soundscapes reminiscent of Sigur Ros.
Yeah, it's just amazing. Basically, if Austin Lunn from Panopticon (well, he IS Panopticon!) were a chick and had some more ambient stuff in his music he'd sound like this. Sadly only an EP with a mere six tracks, hope to hear more from her soon.
