Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan

Arkhtinn's demo work culminates in VI. Each of the two tracks manage to surpass almost any of their predecessors. VI's black metal track embodies the cold-sweat inducing knowing of an imminent disaster - say the panic while approaching a cosmic gate to a dimension filled with grim horrors. II is the official sonic equivalent to what is found on the other side. Hellish, and nothing but sublime. It cannot be a coincidence that the follow-up to this demo is named 'First Catastrophe'.

Don't get me wrong. This is really good and everything is on point. But I'm just kind of confused about the huge elephant in the room regarding the band's name. Seriously? Like how is this not going to get mixed up with THE Leviathan? The Jef Whitehead 20+ year beast? I mean... what's next - "THE BTLS", "MTRHD" or maybe "VN HLN?" Music like this needs a less obvious touchpoint. Because as much as I like "Eradication of Nescience" - it's now begging to be compared to "Scar Sighted." Aka ... GTFO. bcb723
