"Just as Slipknot´s debut delivered a fuel-injected "fuck you" to the metal scene in the 90s, so the Vs´debut does the same to the poppy, diluted industrial-rock genre." -Metal Hammer

L'horizon est paradoxal, à la fois porte d'entrée vers l'infini mais aussi un mur qui bloque notre regard. Ekove Efrits le transcende dans son troisième album Conceptual Horizon, il le met à la merci de son imagination. Hypermnesia a été un tournant pour le one-man band iranien qui fait de cette nouvelle création un théâtre du monde au nombre d'acteurs et de décors quasiment illimité. C'est un des albums de black metal dépressif les plus éclectiques que je connaisse : un grand coup de maître ! Jordan Vauvert

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
