Joe Bridge Fuckin love y’all!!

Sonny92 Just like the cover, these three lengthy tracks (and a short outro) are gorgeous and menacing. With brilliant songwriting and great execution, this is black metal that has evolved beyond it's early lo-fi, satanic roots into a more nuanced and subtle beast. The songs are atmospheric, although I wouldn't really term this atmo-black, sounding at times desperate, at others majestic. Favorite track: The Serpent Sting, the Smell of Goat.

Steve Sullivan Hard to pick a favourite since album is great from start to finish but A Victual for our Dead Selves is outstanding. Songs are atmospheric and aggressive at the same time. Deserving of inclusion on many 2019 best of lists.

about

False return with the most pivotal record of their career, "Portent". A redefining of the extreme underground, "Portent" sees the band harness their shared experiences of pain and loss, and use that energy to create a truly monumental album for American Black Metal that is expansive, wholly engrossing, daring, and above all, honest and genuine. 4 tracks span the width and scope of the band's approach to the genre. The defining trait of the band reveals itself from the onset; the urgency in "Portent" is palpable.
