ABORYM - Kali-Yuga Bizarre Digi-CD

This album was sadly overlooked for a long time. Not to say I didn't listen to it, but it took me a long time to genuinely "hear" it. If I had reviewed this album a couple of years ago, I might have given it a 70. However that can be said about several of my favorite albums. In retrospect, it seems the albums that have the most profound effect on me are a bit more demanding and less accessible. Therefore it may take several spins to appreciate this amazing album and is certainly not for the casual listener -- or for someone who wants easy, instant gratification.

All in all this album is great from start to finish and is essential for those searching for something a little different and unique against an endless sea of generic black metal bands. However keep an open mind as this is a complex album that demands your attention and is not for those simply seeking something to play inconspicuously in the background.
