There are six tracks on the album, and of the selection the title track would probably be my favorite. I liked the atmosphere of the song and its saddening lead riffs. The black metal vocals of the band can border on annoying, I think with a different approach that sounded less like Salacious Crumb, the vocals could be more effective over the music. Clearly the riffs are the star of the production throughout, though the bass is pretty good and audible and the drums have a nice organic feel to them, even if they are a little low.
The band notes on Encyclopedia Metallum claim that the name Molphar is a kind of magician or sorcerer in Carpathian folklore, but I'm not sure the band has enough magic tricks here to pull them from the middle of the pack. The music is alright, but the vocals are pretty weak and the result isn't an album I'm likely to revisit soon.
Verdict: Indifference [6/10]
