Released in 2018 by ghost label Triangle Nihilista in a limited run of 96 handnumbered copies, this is the fouth and last tape by this ultra-cult black metal project from Catalunya: a land full of dark forests and pre-Christian mysteries, a melting pot of the ancient world connecting many forgotten cultures from the north of the Pyrinees to the south of the Mediterranean.

24 tracks or "lessons" serially arranged in 50 minutes, in correspondence with the symbolism of "all that is 24", including the 24 futhark runes and the 24 ancients of the Apocalypse. The general hardcore punk approach, as manifested by very short songs and noisy lo-fi sound, reminds directly to the likes of Ildjarn or early Absurd. Lyrics are sung in Catalan language, sometimes in a putrid old school unholy black metal voice, and sometimes in a clean manly voice that could remind of Isengard or Ultima Thule. In that sense, this record suggests a street-punk/vikingarock turn of the wheel inside Pedraforca's stylistic development. Includes leaflet with lyrics.
