This is just a case of trying to hard to be evil. One of the giants of blackened death metal, and one of the biggest bands to come out of Poland, their output, for the most part, inspires apathy in me. On the surface, this one of the heaviest sounding bands you'll ever hear. The production is slick, thick, and makes the band sound like 10 foot tall demon warriors. But the music barely justifies all the fuss. Oh, they certainly dress the part, and writing 'ov' instead of 'of' in your song titles will make the mall rats think yer sooo cvlt, but its kind of embarrassing to anyone that takes their music seriously when a band this big simply does not have the skills to back up the bravado. There are some good ideas here, ideas someone already thought of. It is just mechanical and overly processed death metal, performed better by bands with not even a fraction of the recording budget. Yawn.
