This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
Pillars of Damnation is the pure manifestation of hatred and rage, a railgun-fired projectile that will absolutely annihilate you and bring to an end the pretence of a happy life to which you misguidedly cling. This is blackened death metal of the highest order, and could fairly be classified as “war metal”, but this is certainly a more focused and somewhat less chaotic album than such contemporaries. If you feel like destroying something beautiful, let Temple Nightside be your muse. Ippocalyptica
