Helhest
The way that Slægt hit me when I first listened to "Beautiful and Damned" was totally unexpected, and I felt exactly the same about this album. The level of songwriting is some stakes higher now and the way that the solos, the arpeggios and the chords happily marry with each other results in an outstanding proof of quality. Slægt own their sound and are not afraid to explore it, within certain boundaries. The songs Domus Mysterium and The Tower are but examples of excelling at heaviness.
