Fast as hell Swedish black metal. Polished production provided by Peter Tägtgren. Majestically huge chords played at 100,000 miles per hour. OK, not really that fast, but that's basically the music - trem picked 5 or 6 string minor chords. Which is cool in my book, but again, it does get a little boring at times. Two songs from the EP get a facelift. "My Dark Desires" is improved in my opinion with some production tweaks, namely clearer drums which play an important part in the rhythmic feel of the chorus section. "Shadows Over Transylvania" is also recorded a little clearer making it sound tighter, not necessarily better, but tighter.
