I Shalt Become is a one man black metal band from Illinois formed in 1995. S. Holiman has grown a reputation, somehow, as being associated as an active member within the national socialist black metal scene, though this is largely debated... Bringing up my main point that you must overlook this "rumor", whether it be true or not, as this album is completely void of political messages. I Shalt Become, to me, is depressive sounding black metal with heartfelt lyrics directed towards ones own personal downfall and demise, poetic in both its sound and lyrical content I believe S. Holiman uses this project as a diary of reflection as well as introspection into his own mental torments and anguish. I prefer the second half of this cd, beginning my listening experience at either track IV or track VI, as my favorites of the album are found here at the end. Technically this release was going to be under his previous project, Birkenau, yet this album should still be thought of as the current I Shalt Become. A beautiful sounding melancholic piece.
