After delivering the triumphant 2023 affirmation that they are "…still fucking I.C.E.!" via 20-year-awaited second album "Ancient Glacial Resurgence", the inimitable battalion strikes immediately again with another shattering full-length of mystical Black Metal savagery. The third revelation from IMPERIAL CRYSTALLINE ENTOMBMENT is the latest apocalyptic statement from a legion once seemingly cryogenically frozen in time - advancing their legacy in a hostile whirlwind of compulsive new paeans to the ancient anti-God Råvaskieth. On "Abominable Astral Summoning" the band strikes more cold-blooded and barbarous than ever. The still-addictive songwriting leans further into evil obscurity, the percussive battering – now more texturally organic – airtight and hypnotic. The accelerated tremolos dial up the epicness, with the uniformly exceptional riffing skewed and dynamically varied to counterbalance the familiar whiteout intensity.
