One of the best damn CDs since the 80s! Tight black metal/thrash of the quality you heard on early Kreator, Sodom and Slayer. Raw Vocals alternate between growled and "spit the words out as fast as you can" style (Mille/Quorthon) to intense screeches. The music isn't all high or mid-speed, as there are some slow doomy parts as well.

Another Solid release. The "catchiest" tracks are "Highland Tyrant Attack", "Swords and Leather" and "Morbid Screams". My favorite track is the closer "...Of Celtic Fire, We Are Born", due to the plodding Bathory feel and Quorthon-type guitar soloing.
