I found this album more or less randomly among last week’s new metal releases and was intrigued by the premise of Tunisian black metal.

Friends, this record is good and I recommend it.

I really liked Dark Matter Manifesto upon first listen, and having now listened to it a few more times, I think it holds up quite well. The vocals remind me a bit of Venom, but the playing is a lot better.

The album has a cosmic/eldritch-horror vibe to it. That sort of thing is right up my alley, so I was probably primed to like this album anyway.
