Synopsis

Album Description
Recognized as one of the most virtuosic guitar wizards today, Mick Barr displays his awe-inspiring six-string histrionics in such bizarre outfits as Ocrilim (Hydra Head) and Orthrelm (Ipecac), bending and stretching the rules of modern-day playing and giving new meaning to progressive guitar-work. Nonetheless, Barr (who has also collaborated with the likes of John Zorn and Mike Patton) is quite the enigma today.

Whatever you want to call it, it rules

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Forget the labels and appreciate this for what it is--brilliant compositions involving amazing virtuosity. This stuff is as epic as Explosions in the Sky or Pelican and as ferocious as Weakling."
They never claimed...

(5 out of 5 stars)

"...to be black metal, but inspired by. Looking past that sort of ridiculousness, is this album pure or not, who cares. Is the music good...absolutely. A solid production without pushing into commercialism, and the music: complex guitar riffs, original vocals, bass guitar that is there for a reason - to be heard, proper drumming. This is thinking man's black metal, not just some satanic garbage recorded in a basement with childish lyrics. If you are a fan of Satyricon's (Rebel Extravaganza) album, Enslaved, Nachtmystium then you should treat yourself to this gem."
Excellent Black Metal

"Completely out of left field, a black metal masterpiece has been unleashed on the general listening public, by the likes of Mick Barr and Colin Marston, with Lee Weinstein on drums. If you dig Weakling and Wolves in the Throne Room, Krallice is likely to be exactly your cup of tea. But Krallice doesn't just borrow from other great black metal acts; they meld it all into their own unique time-warping, epic pieces. This release has some of the most remarkable pure musicianship I've heard on any BM album ever, in fact. 2008 has been a great year for music, and Krallice's debut is near the top of the list. A must-have."
