This. This is what I would call "intelligent" black metal. I find "The Corpse of Rebirth" to be a meticulously crafted album, and it's quite obvious that the band put a lot of time into tweaking and perfecting these songs. I get an air of, I don't know, sophistication (?) when listening to this record. There's something about it that makes me want to sit down with a cup of tea and some crumpets and just ponder.

All of the songs are very intricate and wonderfully woven together, flowing seamlessly throughout even the longest song, clocked at 16 minutes and 27 seconds. Other instruments are used without hesitation and oftentimes, we hear a flute or violin in the background, supplementing the otherwise black metal. Perhaps that is why it's labeled as Psychedelic Black Metal? Regardless, it's anything but normal, causing you to drift off and get lost in its breathtaking complexity. A truly profound album.
