Reviews
"Some music is simply precious. What is meant by this is that the music itself is so delicate, so powerful while being so tender, that listening to it is like holding a child. The sedative soft female vocals over intricate guitar melodies shows a skill that is very unique, while creating an emotive trance that is extremely soothing... - Heathen Harvest"The music very much is like a devotional chant for a world, which is in an apocalypse-like state of degradation, while concentrating on spiritual levels during the lamenting of its decay..." - Psyche Van Het Folk
