The Hellgoat’s Take (8.5/10): Off-kilter for sure but in the case of Embraced, unlike his other records, he let outside musicians play with him and I think that helped reign in his vision nicer than on previous records. The three tracks on the disc are vicious and dark and definitely push the boundaries of the black metal genre while the electronic touches are more subtle and thought provoking than jolting. Embraced is an album that you really have to dig into and focus on while listening but it’s rewarding in the end.
