"A very dark, heavy and melodic album starts off the album while all of the musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats have a very powerful sound to them along with the vocals being mostly grim yet high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the recording you can also hear a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts The songs also add in a good balance between old school and modern influences along with some touches of death and thrash metal as well as some of the tracks being very long and epic in length.
When tremolo picking is utilized it also gives the songs more of a raw feeling along with the music also being very heavily rooted in the Nordic style as well as a fw tracks also adding in a small amount of clean playing and the album also closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very powerful while the lyrics cover meabarons and space themes.
In my opinion Bihargam are a very great sounding aggressive black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album."
