I Shalt Become

The Profile

Solo black metal project led by S. Holliman, author of Wanderings and In The Falling Snow; praised in reviews as an early exemplar of depressive black metal.

Review credits S. Holliman as the mind behind the project and notes two full-lengths: Wanderings and In The Falling Snow. A reissue containing covers of Judas Iscariot and Burzum is mentioned in the review.

Tepes praises Wanderings as a masterpiece and an early exemplar of depressive black metal. The review credits S. Holliman (I Shalt Become) with exceptional compositional talent and a cold but clear production. Songs are short, varied, and built from disturbing arpeggios rather than repeated riffs.
