Conifère are carrying on the small but relentlessly masterful tradition of raw black metal in Québec first carved out at the turn of the century by the likes of Akitsa and Arianrhod. The legacy continues, and along with it, the history and cultural identity of Québec in raw black metal persists. It’s dark, it’s real, it’s jagged like a rusty buzzsaw blade, yet brooding and melodic and thoughtful. There are stark few releases from this niche most years, and fewer still of this caliber. Sam

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

Revenant Marquis continues with the subterranean vocals on this album. Percussion sound on all tracks has a very large sound, especially the bass drum. Guitar is generally very clean. The more I listen, the more I get Xasthur vibes, but with a more rock and roll influence. Still very depressive and chaotic. A cool album! QQBeastMode
