SHROUD OF SATAN's debut album "At the Behest of Time" aggressively embraces its dark obsession for death & transience, emphatically venerating the memento mori as life's true inescapable yet indispensable impetus. An incorrigibly stubborn attitude channels into nostalgic Black Metal - harsh & sincere, proudly rooted in its sombre traditions, enthralling in its cruelty & repulsion. Vanitas vanitatum, omnia vanitas.
