Formed in 2007 by musicians Colin Marston and Mick Barr, they play an experimental, highly technical style of black metal.

[4] Barr said in an interview that "Colin and I had talked about trying to do a black metal record together with no real plans of making it sound good or even releasing it, but as we were writing the music we kind of let it take its own shape.

"[8] Invisible Oranges wrote that the album "incorporates the playful and bleak elements from their previous two releases to showcase a newfound restraint that speaks to a group perfecting their craft.

There's an obvious scaling back, most notably on the intro to “IIIIIIIIII”, but their unerring tug-of-war between obscure chaos and blissful resolution seems even more heightened than previous efforts.

SPIN gave the album 8/10, describing it as "the band's most outwardly tortured material since their 2008 debut, when their take on black metal structures was still relatively straightforward.

[13] The material for this EP was written in 2013 for a split release that never materialised, and has been noted to represent a stylistic middle-ground between Years Past Matter and Ygg Huur.

Krallice plays a form of progressive, highly technical black metal somewhat similar in style to that of Weakling and Wolves in the Throne Room.
