Editorial Reviews

Cold, ancient Black Metal imbued with majestic melancholy and Burzumic despair. Dario Derna, famed for his work with DAQuartered, Abazagorath, Hierophant etc., returns with another grim mesmerizing attack from his primary band. Featuring Crown of the Ancients MCD with Slayer of Lost Martyrs demo as bonus, this release is mandatory for any fan of Burzum, Leviathan, Manes or Xasthur.

This review is from: Slayer of Lost Martyrs / Crown of the Ancients (Audio CD)

Very Burzum sounding, this album is completely atmospheric. There arent many build-ups in the songs, so they just stay at one, slow-ish, pace all throughout. Slayer of Lost Martys reminds me a lot of Burzum's Filosofem, just not as epic. Its not the kind of black metal I prefer, but this album is still awesome. It has a very dark feel that puts you in almost a trance of some sort. This album can also be quite scary if you sit in a completely dark room (absoultely no light coming in) and have this playing through earphones while you sit in a chair in the middle of the room. Youll feel the music around you, sort of absorbing you and its creepy as hell. Other than for that purpose, I would recommend Filosofem or pretty much any early Burzum albums. They are way better. I give this album 3.5 stars.
