La Masquerade Infernale

by Arcturus

supported by

Archmage Orladin Genre defining album. THIS is what avantgarde is. Not strictly in it's form, but in its transgression of expectations and pretense. This one album is a whole genre encapsulated. How many people walked into this expecting a second wave black metal album and had their expectations demolished gloriously? The album has a playful roguishness to it, where you pay for admission to a circus whose clowns entertain themselves at your expense, and you love every minute of it. Favorite track: The Chaos Path.

H... No words can describe The Chaos Path. For sure one of my favorite tracks of all time. Favorite track: The Chaos Path.

Bret Burks This work shimmers and sways like nothing else...a mad journey into chaos, never posturing, open and pure flowing, a river of dark water cascading on the brink of oblivion... Favorite track: The Chaos Path.

I need to hang out and have a beer with Yusaf just once before I die. Seems like such a mad genius! Love his vocals on this and the album as a whole is brilliant! DCLXVI

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
