I have listen to SOM intensely since hearing the first bars of "Black Planet", and I have heard many imitations and mediocre renditions. This album. Floors. Me. Each track is a unique, personal and strikingly powerful musical execution of insight into the truly unique magick of this most inimitable group. My only criticism--and it is tragic one--is that the vinyl version was not the full "Honoris II" collection. Gods! Get this, servants: it is music to rise and reverberate to. Nafre de la Toundra
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 16, 2021
“Strangers” is packed with wonderfully menacing electro-goth—late-night horror movie music for vampire dance parties. Bandcamp New & Notable May 8, 2023
One-man project Vlimmer exists in the borderlands between post-punk and industrial/EBM, creating danceable darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 8, 2022
This has to be the best find for me in the last decade.I’ve connected with this album on a totally different level’ I listen to about 7 hours of music per day everyday most of which is new to me . Obviously music does different things to different people but
most if not all the tracks on this album are Superb . Songs like Unwanted’ Gardens’ Shadows and Requiem all on side A . Then the B side with the fantastic’ New Clear Dawn’ Misthanthropology and Awake
So glad I own this on Vinyl 🫶✌️ fac192
