'Barely a year after spellbinding the underground with their self-titled debut, Wode's follow-up 'Servants of the Countercosmos' ventures into the farthest reaches of the unknown with 6 songs channelling the chaos, brutality and fury of the Inverted Cosmic Order. Immediately recognisable not just for their heavy-metal take on traditional black metal but also for their spirit of evil invention, 'Servants...' sees Wode's palette broaden further still, with a matrix of black and death metal, dark electronics and acoustic passages giving fullest expression to the Ancient English Madness from which they take their name. Wilfully out-of-step with the ebb and flow of extreme music trends, Wode's latest album shows their vision of metal's outer limits to be singular, sepulchral and sharper than ever: it is COUNTERCOSMOS.'
