The song that pretty much enthralled me.. I listen to this constantly and have since ... like 08, 2nd xasthur cd I ever bought, and still my favourite next to a gate through bloodstained mirrors (the green case version) and subliminal genocide.... this whole EP just... runs through my marrow and this particular track has been the background radiation of existence for.. over a decade... The intro... just the way this starts, the sound of the shitty drums.. the choir, the nasty noisy guitars.. everything about this, the panning ,the warbling.. the headphones at night in the rain experience checks out as much as the lingering in a room and trancing out. I BLOODY LOVE THIS EP thank you SC
Damn when that random accordion starts playing @ 38:33 shit gave me goosebumps. This is fucking insane. Extremely underrated and well-made masterpiece.
I like how this focused strictly on atmosphere. I don't much care about the lyrics in atmospheric black metal anyway. So they made them almost nonexistent here... It's all about the ambience.
I think Vinterriket rules the PDH split, but PDH has better songs on LA split, too bad that the Nordlicht split hasn't still been released, Schnee III is phenomenal song that really needs to be pressed on vax, thank you very much.
This is probably my favorite atmospheric black metal album of all time. Why, why, WHY hasn't there been a second SotB album yet? I *need* more of this!
