Genre: Atmospheric Black Metal

This is a strange release compared to Purity; instead of straight up oppressive, crushing black metal, there is a more atmospheric tinge to Battlefields. While Purity is more focused on crushing you with speedy black metal insanity, Battlefields is almost all slower-paced, doomy black metal. Of special note are tracks 3-6 that that cause the black metal tracks to bookend the album. All four are folk pieces, all sung, and as they progress, they get more urgent and depressing. By the third and fourth folk song, it sounds like a crying child singing. It probably is. It's really unnerving.

Get.
