“What makes “Descending Further Into Nothingness” particularly engaging and mood-reflecting is its able-handed balance between solid black metal elements and slow, cold ambience.”

“Through the rage and despair that is brought across so painfully well in this collection of songs, there are moments of quite and contemplative minimalism that lend much needed contrast to these otherwise despair ridden songs. “Descending Further into Nothingness” is simply a well crafted, classic sounding Depressive Black Metal album. ”

“An unostentatious and well-structured album, which should draw plenty of admirers from amongst the melancholy and the imaginative. ”

“If you like your black metal atmospheric and melancholic and find Burzum perhaps a little too hopeful then Exiled From Light will extinguish all warmth and light from your shivering, naked body. ”

“Fans of somber, depressive styled Black Metal will bow down to this band and its amazing debut! Defidently one of Hypnotic Dirge's best releases to date!! ”

“The young man is a grossly underrated and undiscovered genius as far as modern Black and Doom metal is concerned.”

“Greetings Mort, Once again I am left astounded! Brilliance! when, When, WHEN! can I get my greedy claws on your sonics!!!!! I am still to organize a gig up auckland shall let you know when I do, Anno/Exiled would be a great gig. Many Salutes to thee Mort Zekenfraut”
