This album is some of the greatest black metal/ambient music ever recorded in my honest opinion. The usage of all these different types of instruments work so well together and just create such an eerie atmosphere. The guitars are a little bit 'raw' and have that well crunchy sound that so many black metal bands are known to have. The hardest part to get into at first will probably be the vocals as they are a bit annoying upon the first listen, but for me I grew use to them and was no longer annoyed by them.
