Even on the fringes of the black metal scene, where tapes with photocopied covers grow wild and untainted by mainstream customs, there are people that are weirded out by Circle of Ouroborus. For such an oddly green audience, this release would probably be the best introduction to the band; besides the trademark barely conscious vocalist, the music is barely recognizable as the mystical woodlands whimsy as is their custom. Hell, if I can correctly interpret the fucking cypher that is the lo-fi production, there are blast beats in the last song, earning them more black metal points than they usually do. Not much originality on the whole however, but it remains a breath of fresh air for versed CoO listeners.

Unfortunately, the tape was given only to friends with a written personal dedication for each copy, so unless you're in their circle of friends or are mentally insane/rich enough to buy it for $200 fucking dollars or whatever, the tape will be forever out of your grasp. Which is fine, really, because you can buy lots of better CoO releases that won't be paramount to buying someone else's trophy with an "I miss u" note attached.

What a shit friend.. I should have gotten that tape.

Also, if you think Taake used the mouth-harp effectively (you don't), the last song on the tape will showcase a properly utilized mouth-harp in black metal. Write down notes, fellow disciples.

My CoO parody band will be named Circle of Friends.
