However, SIGORSPÉD eschew most of the tropes that characterize pagan black metal in favor of something unremittingly ugly and mercilessly attacking. As blitzkrieging as the best Swedish black metal but with a deeper, darker tone to their riffing, SIGORSPÉD dole out wave upon wave of viscous hypnosis, loose yet locked-in. Tangibly physical and acutely dotted with subtle twists of texture, Everlasting Wisdom of the Ancients surges forth with iron-fisted songwriting and sympathetic production; form and content are thus in symbiotic balance. Above all, SIGORSPÉD are bare-bones but betray a depth that's never belabored, psychically in line with the likes of Arckanum, Old Wainds, and Sorcier des Glaces whilst hinting at new hinterlands to roam in the future: Everlasting Wisdom of the Ancients indeed!
