Pitchfork

The EP format prevents the band’s trademark intricacy and density from ever crossing into exhaustion; from the feedback-laced beginning to, 24 minutes later, the celestial end, Hyperion always thrills.

SPIN

Hyperion represents a new highpoint in sheer density for guitarists Mick Barr and Colin Marston’s six-stringed entanglement, but it doesn’t happen at the expense of the effusive torrents of energy that make the band so life-affirming in the first place.

A bit difficult to listen to, given how long the tracks were, but overall a nice EP!

Fun and worth your time, but it's pretty much your standard Black Metal album with a bit more emphasis on technicality and guitar duality melodics. I'm not sure if this album is more MBV than Burzhum, but definitely this is not an aggressive album. Instead of aggro, think more of lush guitars and echoes.

A compelling EP from one of the best bands in black metal today.
