"The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain, yet again, breaks new ground. A significant turn away from their previous endeavor, the unrelentingly aggressive and merciless, Trident Wolf Eclipse, this newest record explores lots of new rhythms and demonstrates a different character of legerity. As a complete record, it's nothing like you've heard before from the band, yet, at the same time, it is most distinctively still Watain."
