Given Jarno's pedigree you'd think this would be a regular Finnish death metal album. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Serpent Ascending's exploration of the occult make it wholly unique. Choco Latte

Everything Jan Kruitwagen touches seems to turn to gold-including Het Zwarte Dictaat. Boasting beefier production, eerier keyboards, as well as even more menacing riffs and atmosphere than were present on Stormkult (itself an amazing album), this album is easily one of the best of 2021.

Purposeful, this LP’s metal consists primarily of low-to-mid-paced riffs from doom, DM, & BM. These are complemented by influences from prog-rock, in which tonal contrasts add nuance & a way of connecting parts within the album. Everything is structured with meticulous care, avoiding the wild-blend sensation that seems at best pretentious & at worst aimless. Guided by low-pitched vocals that provide a sturdy musical framework & continuity, Condor has produced metal that is very beautiful! Wow. xhrl_
