Another speed black death metal band coming from Sweden. The riffs on this album are pretty much all tremolo picked. Some of the riffs are quite evil. Every song is blisteringly intense. It kind of reminds me of Dawn's Slaughtersun (Crown of the Triarchy). Unlike Dawn, they do have the balls to do slow parts and once in a while some cool keyboard shit. All the vocals are typical black metal. There is a secret track which is quite interesting. It's probably the most original thing on the album. Actually, "A Departure in Solitude" is a really damn good fucking piano instrumental. The lyrics are #yawn# pretty much all about Satan and the like. If you want to listen to some music that is really intense, this band will get you off. However, listening to this too long will make you fall asleep.
