" Aluk Todolo are a recondite creature. Part okkult black metal fiend and part snide kraut menace.
Somehow the doppelganger works and Finsternis proves for a second time there is brilliance in the absence of light.
Dry, spare percussion grievously mines the scrapes, shrieks and shimmer of mutated guitar and bass.
Finsternis is the German word for eclipse, mimetic of cyclic elements, phases and unphases, endless rebeginnings, broken circles and perfect circles.
A dangerous, noxious coil of all things black. "
