Saw these guys some years ago at Mark’s Showplace in NH, opening for someone or other. Walked into see Carharts and camo baseball hats on the stage — without a doubt, true New Hampshire black metal. I really wanted to like them as well since I’m from the same area, but they don’t do it for me at all. The singer is a nice guy, though.

I think a lot of the superlatives thrown at this album are over the top, but I still enjoy the hell out of it. Any black metal band that starts an Oi! chant (like in “Heathen, Heretic and Scapegoat”) gets some definite bonus points. The album is choppy, no doubt, since the songs all go in different directions, but ultimately it works and just takes some time to get used to. “The Abraxas Trance”, “Heathen, Heretic and Scapegoat” and “Communion” were the tunes I enjoyed on first spin, and they hooked me in enough to appreciate and eventually love the rest of the disc. Check this out folks. It is certainly an album worth listening to and making up your own mind about.

it’s a horrible name, on first read reminds me of I.C.E.

Yeah this band is garbage now. I saw them year’s ago in New Hampshire with Nachtmystium and 1349 and they were straight forward black metal. Then I saw them again last year opening for Watain and they were doing all of this experimental crap and clean singing which the vocalist clearly had no business doing. Too bad, if this band continued down the path they started, maybe they’d have some cult status by now.

Saw these guys open for Nachtmystium a couple years ago; good stuff, but back then they were more like Xasthur than anything…guess it’s been a significant change since then.
