This album is a "must have" for every self respecting BM head. it is a mixture of bands like darkthrone, barathrum, and even some elements out of doom like My dying bride. being melodical and agressive at the same time this album will atract many fans of different genres. don't pass the opportunity to check it out!!! hailz Nokturnal Supremacy Review by: nokturnal supremacy Having expected an improvement on, or at least something comparable to the last album, this became somewhat of a dissapointment. In spite of having bumped 'Whisper', the female vocalist on the last album, probably so that she could get singing-lessons, the formula remains mostly the same. Guitars stomping in the best pseudo-black metal tradition, backed by a pounding yet varied and well-timed drumcomputer, together with profaning grim vocals in a sauce of two keyboard lines overlaid on eachother. What makes this album lose 19 points compared to my review of their debut, is a combination of factors. First, I actually ended up missing the female vocals. They weren't great, but somehow, they were an essential ingredient in the standard pseudo black metal formula, sampled into the synths or not. Second, missing one element, the band apparently decided to give extra emphasis to what could be called the best element of their first album: the keyboards. But like with Nightwish's Wishmaster, giving extra emphasis to the most interesting element actually makes the music less interesting, and makes this album a step back from the previous one. Another thing is that the over-the-top blasphemy has lost it's charm. Now they're just a bit silly. Add to that the fact they aren't covering any ground they hadn't already covered on the first album, and the lack of any production surprises, and you end up with an album that's pretty ok, but dissapointing and lacking in the end. 67/100 Review by: Egregius Finally the very album i can put near "Blood, Monsters, darkness" !!!!
