RJ Three marathon United States black metal epics. Absolute black metal at the core with melody, symphonic, and even thrash like variations. It’s aggressive and there’s not much breathing room to be found. Oh and the Lewandowski album art is stunning, as expected. 7/10 Favorite track: A Victual For Our Dead Selves.

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.

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.
