5.0 out of 5 stars eseential for fans of BM or experimental music, September 11, 2005

A soulful, emotional, darkened black metal journey into the depths of Wrest's psyche. Just as brilliant, and even more unconventional, than his Leviathan work.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new definition of black metal, November 3, 2006

If you're looking for pure, aggressive, fast, intense black metal, maybe you should skip this album.
If you appreciate black metal that is not afraid to move into quiet and dreadfully ominous periods of song, I'd highly recommend this. 'Lurker of Chalice' combines the discordant and dark sounds of American Black Metal with an even darker ambient feeling. It even goes so far as to incorporate elements of psychedelia.
Listen to this album in a quiet place, and I expect you will feel as though you have entered a different world, that you have been transformed into something radically different. It's all just the atmosphere of the album of course, but it achieves perhaps one of the finest atmospheres in black metal.

First of all let me say that there are only 777 of these out there so grab them if you can!!

Second is this: this is perhaps one of the best albums ever made in black metal history. Period. Argue if you want but it shows how much deeper Wrest can take his music. All through the album you have a deep sense that he has a real feel for every element he puts into it. Every time he adss a music element it feels like he put real thought into the overall effect it would have which allows this album to be creepily psycholigical and atmosperic through its entirety. The guitar is beautiful, yet solemn, the voices added by other people are fitting. I recommend this album highly to anyone who likes music whther you get black metal or not.
