When a young band describing itself as blackened death/doom has only got three releases to its name, but one of said releases is a split Bathory tribute with Ultha, deciding to pluck their debut full-length from the promo slush pile and give it a good listen is not exactly a tough call.

While we will probably spend the next couple of months bitching and moaning about everything from the temperature to slush on the ground to the endless onslaught of terrifying political affairs streaming in through our social media feeds, you will not hear us complaining about all the delicious ways to warm up: spiked cider, hot pie, and soup, here we come.

It comes in a sip of shikanjabeen, a slush of mint and lime that reaches back to the streets of Lahore, Pakistan; in a perfect palata, the dough slapped and stretched in a technique learned decades ago from a trishaw driver by the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar; in a tamal, hibiscus-red and sweet as cake, a Christmas wish from Puebla, Mexico.
