Where once was light, now darkness falls.
Where once was love, love is no more.
Don't say goodbye. Don't say I didn't try.
These tears we cry are falling rain.
For all the lies you told us; the hurt, the blame
And we will weep to be so alone.
We are lost. We can never go home.
So in the end I will be what I will be.
No loyal friend was ever there for me.
Now we say goodbye. We say you didn't try.
These tears you cry have come too late.
Take back the lies; the hurt, the blame.
And you will weep when you face the end alone.
You are lost. You can never go home.

Consistency is really fucking important. Many artists will knock one good release out of the park and then drown in irrelevance thereafter, because nothing followed. For Arkhtinn, consistency seems to be as natural and easy as breathing in your sleep. Not only do they never release anything subpar, they instead seem to improve with every release. V contains the meanest of all their black metal tracks so far, combined with the most fragile and beautiful ambient piece. De rigueur! David Fischer
Tokyo band contrast black metal's brutal complexity with shoegaze's abyssal grandeur, resulting in an LP that feels crushing, yet infinite. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 24, 2022
