Ygg huur

Critical reception
The album generally received positive reviews. Pitchfork's Grayson Haver Currin was positive in his assessment of the album, stating: "Ygg Huur is more vivid, vexing, and meticulous than most of what the band's old peers still call black metal—a sentence Krallice no longer need to share."[4] Spin critic Colin Joyce described the album as "the band’s most outwardly tortured material since their 2008 debut, when their take on black metal structures was still relatively straightforward." Joyce further stated: "They’re all the way through the looking glass on this one, presenting a knobbly vision of the genre that stems and branches out like a particularly warped weeping willow, but given the opiated grandeur of what came between this is a particularly oxygenated version of their blown-out screams and squelches."[5] Sputnikmusic staff writer Elijah K. wrote: "The result is truly interesting metal record that mixes a flurry of modern influences into one tight little package." He concluded that "for major detractors Ygg Huur is well worth looking into."[6]
