This album impressed me a lot when I first got it. I had before that had them recommended for their "Revelations Of Glaaki" demo, which I later acquired, and I might add it features three of the songs found here on this album, in a rawer fashion which actually suits them, but I can't say if the rawer versions are any better or any worse than these more polished versions, as both have their charm. Anyway I guess I better actually explain what these guys do... They have a melange of black, death, doom, thrash and heavy metal going on, and it's simply fantastic. It is very rare to hear a band with so many different elements, where they all just click, they all just fit, there isn't a single place where anything sounds misplaced or ill fitting, it doesn't even come off sounding diverse, as it all just is neatly matched... This is very close to perfection, and that should be enough said...
