One of the best black metal bands of the last 8 years, which means they're beyond the boring tropes of the label. Intelligent and innovative with music geared towards the emotive ends of the work, not an adornment of scene badges or theatrical misanthropy. stevstemac

Sometimes, you need some straightforward, high-tempo, slickly-produced, tremolo riff-infused, melodic, and atmospheric black metal, and with A Gaze Into The Abyss, Antlers deliver exactly that. There is nothing dissonant or avant-garde about this, but we have enough other top-shelf bands releasing that sort of black metal. This is the real deal presented in a concise package, and is worthy of any metal fan’s attention. Ippocalyptica

I like to delve into discographies, and I like to start at random points - basically ramming my shovel into the ground with a self-confident attitude while keeping a straight face. Floors of Heaven shalt mark my descent into Ultha's discography, and it makes for a rocksolid (digging-metaphor pun intended?) start. These are two tracks filled with bleak, dystopian sentiment; a schizophrenic hopelessness manifesto: gelid and slashing on the one hand, grinding and gruelling on the other. Solid! David Fischer
