In what will surely be considered a high water mark for Turkish Black Metal,
Nihaihayat is a five-track, 51-minute mood-swinging journey book-ended by the chilling beauty of ambient pieces “Integumental Grasp” and “In Senility.” In between are three epic cuts of soul searing harshness, hypnotic madness marches, and bleak atmospherics, at times similar to Xasthur’s vintage works of mental trauma with the occasional nod to early Ulver.
