This is a nifty blackened death/deathened black metal album from Austria. This 2009 release puts me in mind of a "Son of Northern Darkness" era Immortal, with the emphasis on crushing, slicing riffs and precise rhythms. It's nothing innovative or new, just quality metal comfort food. All the lyrics are bathed in the occult. The production is thick, the guitars adequately trembly and bass heavy, the drums clear and pristine, the vocals a black metal gargle, and somewhat processed. There are some really great songs here, and some weaker ones, best one being the evil majestic 'Veneratio Diaboli - I Am Sin'. Worth your time.
Rating: 7.5 out of 10
