The title kicks of their most recent record (for now). Thick with a cloud of gloom as the sample starts, good heavy pummeling soon after, I like the leadwork here to set up. Solid little groove to ease into the hellscape, I like the chunky middle passage, good mix of blasting in there too. Smooth heaviness continues in the second half, sharp soloing.

A surprisingly great album
really was not expecting this to be as good as it was
While Blackened Death Metal gets boring after a while, this album has managed to stick around in my rotation since it's release
Best - Virtus Asinaria - Prayer, The Devils
Worst - Creature of Fire
Production on this blackened release is done so wonderfully. such a full sound backed by real BASS which is something most often missing in black metal related deliveries. Instrumentation is top notch and vocals take a back seat when necessary.
