Regardless of quality, it was a dickmove to advertise this on Bandcamp as black metal when it's an
ambient album, especially as the full album wasn't released on streaming or without purchase on
the site - essentially, longtime fans of the band were baited into preordering and buying music
that, let's face it, most don't give a fuck about. Worse behaviour than the rollout for Merch
Incantation's last LP, which they did at some point actually advertise as being a Tangerine Dream
ripoff, though the music here is admittedly better. Much like Yellow Eyes, Fluisteraars are an
excellent black metal band, and while they've had successful side-projects that delve into other
genres, the ambient album is where BM musicians have gone to die ever since Varg and Mortiis tried
their hands at it. Who'd have thought that musicians coming from a genre that cares little for
production value would be incapable of crafting interesting ambient music? While the Dutch scene
has precedent for good drone BM (Himelvaruwe), and "Master's Murmur" did show that BM can be
integrated into a more abstract style, this release drops the band's core genre almost entirely. I
hope that the poor fools who ordered this have learned that you cannot trust preorders, especially
when not preceded by singles until several weeks into their promo campaign, and certainly not from
long-running black metal bands - something most of us learned in the 2000s.
