* Excerpt of a review found online at Vampire Mag, Europa:

"Two worlds collide spectacularly on this masterpiece of obscure BM artistry. On one hand, Blackthru/Triangle of Art delivers lush atmospheres that are at once soothing and energising; he counters these majestically with black grimness that's harsh, fierce, unnerving and cathartic. For one so young (18 years old), Justas a.k.a. Bletmanas has the voice and demeanour of a demon and his compositions are nothing short of staggering.

"Subliminal serenading wrestles with mischievous menace amid a maelstrom of alienated emotional disharmony, yet it is all merged in a ridiculously coherent manner. The prodigious Lithuanian answers his muse confidently and defiantly with a fusion of Nargaroth's neuroses and Drudkh's diffidence. Sublime serenity versus harrowing hostility. Scornful ambience.

"Blatantly the product of a demented and tortured mind, it's also a work of outstanding quality and maturity, managing at times to attain an almost orchestral magnificence. Do not be fooled by the obscurity of it all - 'Is Tamsos' is a skilled exhibition of esoteric BM crafted with guile and precision; an unpredictable treat from the dark recesses of the netherworld.

"Don't worry unduly about whether this should be classified as a Blackthru parting shot or a Triangle of Art opening gambit; just file under Truly Inspired Occult Black Metal Art."
