It worked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased in 2012 and pressed again in 2024, this is the album where SHINING fully committed to their jazz-infected, suicidal avant-garde vision, blurring the line between black metal and something far harder to categorise. If you came here expecting straightforward darkness, Kvarforth would probably find that very funny. The digipak format does the album justice, a physical object for music that demands to be held, not streamed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFull length album. Digipak CD.
