A mysterious entity perhaps hailing from the ever-fertile Australian black metal underground, Skare is both traditionalism and idiosyncrasy defined. The band's sound is undoubtedly rooted in the ancient tropes of '90s black metal classicism - magick, mysticism, medieval madness - and across the epic expanses of Skare does the band lead the listener on a winding, cobwebbed path of frostbitten fury and majestic melancholy. Truly, Skare in general and Skare in particular are mystery made flesh, and the 35 minutes contained herein unfold new vistas of the imagination.
