After Hive Mind Narcosis, I have no doubt that Thantifaxath is the best Canadian black metal band. What's being delivered in these unfathomable 46 minutes simply deserves a league of its own. The sound is beautiful and threatening, the music expansive and seemingly dismissive of genre boundaries and concepts. Yet, one sinks ever deeper into the black swamp instead of leaving it. This is the epitome of slipping into insanity, it's losing your own conscience to the gaze of the abyss. Magisterial!
Favorite track: Mind of the Sun.
