Nearly eight years after its debut album Depraved, Repressed Feelings, the tortured beast that is Ether rises from slumber to deliver a second strike. Still destructive, negative and schizophrenic, Hymns of Failure also sees main man Scythrawl adding a dash of experimentation and going for a more epic sound. Those who like their Black Metal full of contrasting moods, from the darkest of hatred to the deepest of depression will not want to miss this opus!
