Among the most anticipated black metal releases in recent memory, I Begin was unleashed stateside on October 22 through Indie Recordings and continues to earn hails and horns domestically and abroad. Revolver commends the album in a 4/5 review saying: “Rather than put out more Burzum-influenced black-metal backwash, they’ve interpolated elements of gloom-rock, prog, and even experimental electronics into their classic-black collages, and, as improbable as it may seem, the variety works,” About.com notes: “The craving to experiment is obvious throughout, with warm vintage tones clashing with icy avant-hues. Yet the album’s adventurousness never obscures its pitch-black heart; GOD SEED ensures the frosty assault of black metal is accentuated in any eccentric diversions,” while Blistering adds: “You couldn't necessarily find the GOD SEED dudes at fault for wanting to continue down the (left-hand) path walked during their time with Gorgoroth, yet I Begin will enter the win column because of its unpredictable nature. In essence, the ‘70s vibe put out coalesces with the bleak and bloody black metal of Gorgoroth's ‘00s output, and when you stop to compare the respective albums, is probably better than what Gorogorth was putting out a decade ago.” Exclaim agrees: “I Begin is an ambitious and powerful debut, which builds on the foundation of the band members' notable pedigrees, but is also not content to rest on those laurels, pushing beyond the comfort zone of their rasping, bombastic black metal past into something more intricate.”

The album’s first single, “This From The Past,” premiered via esteemed music portal, Pitchfork. If you missed it, check it out HERE.
