“Steeped in HM2 death metal worship, Enlightened by Darkness is In Shadows and Dust’s fourth album in as many years. Melding HM2-driven death with cold black metal, it’s not uncommon for Thirion to sharply transition from soaring blackness to bass heavy, grooving death metal at the drop of a hat. There’s also a healthy dose of D-beat injected into the songs, meaning that In Shadows and Dust isn’t a project that retreads ground that’s been explored countless times. ”

“…the massive HM-2 tone (the saw is the law!) provides a monstrous undercurrent to a track that’s propelled by furious battering and thundering drumwork and suffused with waves of vicious, roiling riffs. No less vicious are the vocals, which are unhinged and mind-scarring in the quality of their shrieking proclamations. The turbocharged energy of the song is irresistible, but surges even higher into the red zone through the appearance of high, scintillating leads, rippling in an intense and effervescent boil.”

“In Shadows and Dust stick the middle finger up to those expectations by bringing crushing heaviness, exciting rhythm and melodic passages that has all the workings of Swede-Melo Death but so much more….Death metal rarely sounds this good.”
