The music and atmosphere is grueling, the vocals agonizing, the music heart wrenching and painful. If that sounds like something you’d enjoy then go and put this is the shopping-basket, not much compares to Nihilistic Purity. Whilst Lyrinx might be too depressing for light listeners of this style, this is still an essential album and one of the very best recordings in the depressive black metal-genre. Like a brick wall of grief.
