Deadpanist Cavernous, bestial, industrial-tinged feat of an album. excellent all-around. It will make you stare at the abyss and it will answer you back.

HaroldAllnut Bestial anti-human blackened death insanity from a solitary German metal maniac? Sign me up. The drums on track 6 rule. Favorite track: Emanated from the Cosmic Darkness.

Kenneth Cope Easily the best album of the 10s Favorite track: Anti-Monad Black Hole Bomb.

A Metal Podcast Gives me WW2 Flashbacks, Fucking amazing work here. EASILY beat Behemoths The Satanists spot for being the best record of this decade. Great work and I cant wait for more! Favorite track: Anti-Monad Black Hole Bomb.

Anthony This is some seriously sick shit. It rips it's way through you without mercy. Support!

The Baneful Choir
by Teitanblood

supported by 24 fans who also own “Ritual in the Absolute Absence of Light”

Chaotic, whirling extreme metal thick with atmosphere. You can see how more recent releases like Coscradh's Nahanagan Stadial drew inspiration from Teitanblood here. This is one of those albums you wanna strap in for the whole ride from start to finish to fully get. Camelus Dromedarius

Exercises in futility
by Mgła

supported by 20 fans who also own “Ritual in the Absolute Absence of Light”

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
