    Over ten years after its release, I'm still wondering if this is the best dark ambient album of all time. The sound design is just so next-level and I just haven't found anything else that _quite_ reaches this level of magic. I keep hoping for new material under this nom de guerre and am guessing it's not happening at this point.

          Listening to this record in the middle of the night, alone with couple of candles is really immersive and could change lives. It is necessary to let go and give yourself to music, letting it take you away to dark and mysterious places.

              For their debut on the highly-lauded Tri Angle label, the Haxan Cloak do some deep EXCAVATION. And by deep, I mean dark. And by dark, I mean dark. The album moves from the heavy hits and whirring on the intro "Consumed" to the atmospheric soundscape of "Excavation (Part 1)," which has a subterranean thrust, while "Part 2" becomes more industrial with its textures. Both "Mara" and "Miste" offer a hint of melody, particularly with the latter before it resolves into growls. The two part "The Mirror Reflecting" again follows the structure of the earlier "Excavation," splitting between dark ambiance and a more active, skittering industrial sound as it settles into a melodic whirl. "Dieu" goes to work overtime at the robot typewriter factory, and "The Drop" closes the album on a note that almost sounds Boards of Canada-like. before it switches back to a gelatinous dirge. A richly-textured album.

                  This is my favorite album so far of 2013. Beautifully crafted and executed. It is a beautiful, tense album.
