"Verses in Oath is everything I hoped for (but worried we wouldn’t get) from the follow-up to The Eternal Fanfare. Hulder has maintained the black metal core of its sound, while skilfully weaving in all the other elements, from the symphonic to the folksy, to great effect. Even the atmospheric intro and interludes, both of which I normally deride, are executed with such skill that they feel integral to Verses in Oath. Hulder has delivered an outstanding record that is making an admittedly early play for my album of the year." -Angry Metal Guy
