“Raw black metal is not for everyone, of course, but its strength lies in its ambiguity.”

Through the extra time allowed on a full length, the artist really spreads their wings, taking the time to develop each feeling, each howl, each riff, each drum stroke.
Igikai is the product of a group of insanely talented musicians that craved nothing more than to craft their vision into art with palpability, with longevity, and with true passion.
The album is ethereal, but also urgent.
‘Immersive’ is probably a good adjective to describe this record as a whole, but I think I’d rather use ‘refreshing.’
It often feels horrifyingly nightmarish, but also warm and inclusive.
You Can’t Go Back is heavy! Sometimes that means musically heavy, but throughout the entire album, it means emotionally heavy.
The Scalar Process is definitely technical death metal, but it’s as if tech death went to the gym, studied martial arts, and learned bomb making, all to better seek revenge on their high school bully.
it becomes clear as the album progresses that we are confronted with an increasingly elevated level of diversion, dynamism, and ferocity.
