"A soulful, emotional, darkened black metal journey into the depths of Wrest's psyche. Just as brilliant, and even more unconventional, than his Leviathan work."
A new definition of black metal

"If you're looking for pure, aggressive, fast, intense black metal, maybe you should skip this album.
If you appreciate black metal that is not afraid to move into quiet and dreadfully ominous periods of song, I'd highly recommend this. 'Lurker of Chalice' combines the discordant and dark sounds of American Black Metal with an even darker ambient feeling. It even goes so far as to incorporate elements of psychedelia.
Listen to this album in a quiet place, and I expect you will feel as though you have entered a different world, that you have been transformed into something radically different. It's all just the atmosphere of the album of course, but it achieves perhaps one of the finest atmospheres in black metal."
