Syv is one of the most clear, perfect-sounding albums I have ever heard…
The production is handled beautifully, making for one of the greatest-sounding black metal albums that will surely grace all fans’ record collections very soon.

When Jack told me about the new partnership with Maor Appelbaum, I was all for it. Jack did his usual magic, and then Maor optimized it for vinyl with his custom-made gear, bringing out even more depth and clarity. This is a fine example of two entities getting together and doubling the quality of the finished product.
— Thomas Eriksen (MORK - Peaceville Records)
Jack — I just walked around my front yard in the dark playing air guitar and making shapes the entire way through my first listen. This is so good I’m speechless. I could say a billion things but I wouldn’t know where to start.
This is amazing, and we’re beyond stoked. Please tell Maor how grateful we are — each of you crushed this and it’s so much bigger than the sum of its parts now. Couldn’t be more appreciative.
— David Waltenbaugh (PLAGUEFEVER)
