Man, this really slays. Despite the disguise in catchy yet brutal riffs and the topping with melodies this album is a monster. Brutal death metal done perfectly 🖤 mourner

This album has a problem with the MP3 VO compression. I'm pretty sure that's what Bandcamp downloads when you download on mobile, and the album has a bunch of weird volume jumps when I play it on the app. The flac sounds fine though. Kaewin
The consistently excellent NYC death-doom dealers dole out another heaping helping of demonic growls and nasty riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 7, 2024

Unlock the Shrine is the first of many masterworks by Alexander Von Meilenwald. First discovering this project around the release of Foul Semen, I never properly sat down for a good decade simply due to song lengths in a whole discography. finally sitting down for the last year and deeply analyzing the albums, that was a mistake that cost me a decade listening to this amazing project. UTS showcases all of the elements that make his unique fusion of black/doom with perfect atmosphere. 4/5 ClassyMusicSnob
