PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.

Honestly, this might be favorite release from these guys. While the sprawling nature of the songs on Griseus (and to a lesser extent, Bellum I) allow for a lot of great stuff to be shown off, I need to be in a specific mood to appreciate them. Arbor doesn't really have that problem, however. This EP has a manageable length that still leaves me satisfied at the end of the day. Plus, all four of the songs here are among the best the band has to offer in general.

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer.

Wind, Breeze, or Breath

Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

Can you have your black metal with no moronic samples, with guitars downtuned to drill holes in your very self, hypnotizing bass lines, drums that are something more than blast beats and vocals that don't need to be soaked in reverb, and on top of it fast, melodic, headbanging and catchy? Yes. p.s. my grandma used to say: never judge a metal album by its intro.
