Track three, “Antithesis of Creation" was a definite highlight for me. The opening, featuring a classical or acoustic guitar, is spectacular. The sound is almost distant yet but with you at the same time. The song itself showcases some of the most impressive tremolo-picked passages on the album. The "chorus" section delivers a classic Death/Doom feel but elevates it with more intricate guitar layering, resulting in a richer and more engaging sound than often found in slower, doom-influenced black metal. Gurthang demonstrates a real strength in their ability to transition rapidly between slow, crushing doom tempos and the blistering speed of black metal, maintaining a high level of engagement. The vocalist's skillful shifts between death/doom growls and black metal shrieks, sometimes even contrasting them with the musical backdrop, add a compelling layer of dynamism.

Track four serves as an effective and necessary ambient interlude. This shorter piece offers a welcome respite from the previous intensity. It gradually evolves from an almost soundtrack-like soundscape into a deeply woven, doom-infused track, enriched by subtle piano layers and what I perceived to be sounds akin to "church bells," contributing to its unique atmosphere.

The closing track proved to be a fittingly epic conclusion. Its length allows the band to explore different structural approaches. The incorporation of whispering vocals over calming ambient passages is a particularly effective touch, highlighting the intricate layering present throughout the album
