Reue deftly avoids so many of the tropes of the modern black metal scene and delivers something special. The record cuts a unique path through the depressive black metal jungle with aggressive riffing and production which is on the attack. Yet, despite being free of the bed of reverb endemic to anything ‘depressive,’ Reue exquisitely evokes the existential angst of remorse. Record o' the Month for January over at
