Total one dimensional attack based on speed. Setherial project methinks but who they are matters very little to me. Basically modern black metal revved up but with a certain blandness / sameness. Everything passes you before you notice it. Rare is the moment where you are grabbed by a particular riff. Little atmosphere to hold one's attention. Just a blur, sort of like Immortal's 'Battles In The North' except it's less wall of sound than that album and there is slightly more variance in their compositions. Here is a CD where the emphasis on speed has taken away from it's power. Pretty ho-hum to me but if you're a speed freak go for it but if you find yourself stifling a yawn, don't say I didn't warn you.
