Wholesale changes in the Gehenna camp for this one. New members and more aggression (a trend sort of developed on last album Malice). Say adios to babe Sarcanna (keyboards), who really cares about the other members. Even Sarcanna's departure is no big deal as most women should be seen and not heard from anyways! Somebody was doing her and when she failed to put out her usefulness to the band came to an end, HA HA HA!!!!

Adimiron Black opens up with 'The Killing Kind' and sets the tone that Gehenna has opted for this album. A cool riff, powerful with a touch of thrash (don't think retro as it's essence is ever so slight). Lyrically they've tried to write about more tangible black subjects i.e. : death, depression, murder, suicide etc. Looking at the album cover kind of gives that impression as well. Keyboards are still present but they are more subdued this could be for the fact the new keyboardist is a man and it's highly unlikely that they'd try to blackmail him for sexual favors unless ... let's not think of that!!! DEATH TO HOMOS!!! A decent album if your a fan, nothing to stalk after though. 10 songs, 36:11 m:s
