Strangely lo-fi with respect to other Kauan albums, and often at complete odds with its predecessor, Kaiho (which only comprised clean vocals). To appreciate Ice Fleet, I approach it like a release from another band – an unknown and mysterious one. Alice M.
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
This album is haunting, beautiful, and cathartic. One of the best post-black metal albums out there. I bought a cd on Discogs, but needed the vinyl. Доберман Сатз
