Review
"Looming ahead across a vast nocturnal plane, Wicked Messenger's "The River Disappeared Sidewards" is an enigmatic monolith guiding the listener into ancient and imposing terrain. Roaring reverberations, sustained boomings, and metallic delayed percussives evoke primordial and hostile landscapes on a world still forming and hostile to life. This is a river of liquid methane, or molten rock, disappearing into caliginous darkness inhabited by nightmare visions and half perceived terrors. The darkest of Plague's releases, Wicked Messenger delivers the soundtrack to cyclopean horrors." (Sid Redlin, USA)
