    Diotima is poetry, classical allusion, the consideration of platonic love and our place in history. It is searing shards, intricately arranged, forward-moving, stretching to infinity--lurching, faltering, and then thundering for passages that stop time and levitate your world.

    At their best, they're an overwhelming sonic force, and Diotima is their best album to date.

    Mick Barr's guitar work is hugely impressive, apparently concerned with documenting an infinite number of riffs, but the length of the compositions--often around 12 minutes--rather test the limits of endurance. [Aug 2011, p.90]

    This band may be from New York, but they know brutal and beautiful black metal just as much as the Norwegians. Wonderful, amazing, bleak, dense music.… Expand
