This is a very good black metal/psychedelic CD by trio Aluk Todolo, driven by the slow, long-form impact and repetition of sounds. The recording methods are minimal and sparse (which can be at times detrimental to the overall effect of the recordings), with nearly forty minutes of repeating figures (essentially divided into four sections--"Primier Contact," "Deuxième Contact," etc.) played by drums and bass, establishing a structure over which guitars and vocals are layered, with a brief interlude called "Totalité" breaking up the tension. 7/10 --
