I'm sorry, but what's that even supposed to mean? How the hell do you strip blues riffs down to "an inhuman level". Blues riffs are already simple.

Darkness and nihilism are preoccupations of the teenage mind. I'm not looking for metal to feel "evil" either, or any such nonsense.

There's a bit of variance of course, but you can't really state with conviction that this album is varied in the larger scheme of thing, can you? This album is pretty damn single minded the way I see it. But that's quite typical of extreme metal albums of various sorts. Most of the album is about that huge crush.
