Aborym are one of the stranger bands to make an impact on the black metal scene as of late. Getting more from the concept than the delivery though, has been an unfortunate aspect of their career. This CD is among the weaker releases that the band has produced and despite the appearence of Attila (you know which one) I am left somewhat cold after a spin or two. The production is good, the vibe is good and the vocals all work...it's just that something is missing on this slab of plastic.

Aborym creates songs from a mixture of traditional black metal and electronic music. This in itself should produce amazing results but the overall feel is off. Where there should be hooks there are pauses and where the pauses should be something else that is entirely off exists. The band have good ideas, but this record does not push them to the expected limits and falls somewhat limp. I expected better, and it could have been worse...but this holds the interest the first time and fails to hold the attention the next.

Aborym satisfy a certain need for the "weird" but they don't really deliver anything that memorable on this CD. I have more memories of doing cocaine off the back of it than I do actually listening to it.

I'd say buy it if strange black metal appeals to you...but don't expect anything classic to come of it. It's an "ok" record from a band that could have been amazing...
