Reading up on the history behind this album, it's amazing and disturbing. It's about Franklin's Lost Expedition in 1845; an expedition meant to map out the last uncharted parts of the North-Western Passage up in Canada, over a 20,000 British Pound bounty. The two ships; HMS Terror and HMS Erebus became stuck in ice near King William Island, the ships where well stocked with canned food for a prolonged expedition, but most of the cans had lead on them, which poisoned a lot of the men, due to the food being contaminated, the men resorted to cannibalism to stay alive; scurvey, hypothermia and lead poisoning killed most of the crew,, including the captain, John Franklin, and after about a year the remaining crew abandoned the ships, intending to reach the Canadian mainland, only to never be found again. It was only until 2014 that the two ships where found on the coasts of Nunavut. The last song's title are the coordinates where each ship's wreckage was found.

Expeditions and Black Metal, is the perfect blend

germans never disappoint

Epic, good sound and tones, this guys are the best of the month and possibly of the year.

Этот шедевр хочится слушать и слушать вновь,настолько точно подобрана картинка под музыку,как будто перед глазами снежная гладь и вдалеке посреди полузамерших льдин - экспедиция,как будто вид с самолета какого- то там года 1937-1947,а музыка передает всю атмосферу пребывания внутри этих потеряный людей,их быт,их ощущения,их страх,их мысли об ожидании от будущего,...такая думово - гибельно - блэковая картина предстает пред глазами,вообще класс,очень все точно,даже филигранно подобранно,очень,такое редко встретиш!!!

you can tell it's an absolute banger by just looking at that cover... so good

Hammer!

The best album I have heard this year.

Gehört und für außerordentlich gut befunden!

Chillig

Слушается так,будто читаеш книгу,с предисловием,как первая композиция,и очень крутим эпилогом,в последней композиции,где экспедиция,вернее уже остатки её (картина точно передает сцену происходящего,сами доски с корабля,а потом после грома.... души людей наконец - то нашедших берег,пристанище... но какой берег...),и проигрыш филосовства всей экспедиции,а ...может прожитой жизни?!?!👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘💪💪💪

Absolutes Meisterwerk !

Absolutes Machtwerk! Wer ihre EP gehört hat, konnte schon erahnen was uns mit diesem Album erwartet und was soll man sagen: Es wurden alle Erwartungen erfüllt und übertroffen. Wenn Antrisch diesen Kurs hält dann sehe ich eine glorreiche Zukunft am Horizont.

One of the best 2023 black metal albums so far. That's amazing

Thanks to BMP I feel like I am in a place where history is being written and I can listen to albums that sometime in the future will become classic. Thank you for that!

Without even understanding the German lyrics, this album still tells a grim tale of the depths of men curious for exploration and the hardship and suffering that goes along with it. The album starts with the sounds of the creaking wood of a boat bobbing in water. A slight uneasy wind blowing, as the wood begins to groan, and the listener boards the ship for this journey on an arctic archipelago into uncharted territory, along with the sailors of the expedition. The wood almost sounds like it's splintering apart, putting the listener ill at ease. This is an unnerving foreboding of a voyage doomed from the start. The ships are soon frozen and trapped in the ice, left to float on the waves of a desolate, lonely sea in a frozen tundra right into the heart of an icy death. Those aboard must survive the harsh weather conditions and each other while being stalked by an elusive menace - Death. The artwork displayed throughout the album really adds to the atmosphere of this ill-fated journey, as the hopelessness becomes intolerable, as we slog on towards the end. In the artwork, you see a distressed Captain, a man sleeping while a mysterious figure hovers over the man holding a scythe. A funeral is then held. The men then have what looks to be a feast. But the men do not look happy. They just adorn blank expressions. I can't be sure, but it looks like they are eating a human. Then in the closing track, you can hear the ice cracking, waves, and the sound of being submerged in water. As the last piece of artwork shows a sinking boat, a hopeless feeling washes over me. Yet I keep hitting repeat on this stellar release.

Просто супер ✌🎸🥁🎸

Nice German Atmospheric Black Metal !! 💣🕯️🤘🏻💀🔥👿

I almost froze to death listening to this album! 🥶
