This band finally releases a debut album, and a very long one too (around 70 minutes in length). As like the previous 7", this album has good moments mixed with bad moments. Fortunately, the good moments are far more. Still, why did they have to go and re-record some of the laughable songs from their first demo "Goat of 1000 Young" (although these versions are MUCH better than the originals!!)?? I can hear a good portion of old school metal in the music, listen to the opening track, they pretty much copy "Heading Out To The Highway" by JUDAS PRIEST in one part!! There's also a heavy VENOM influence. Cazz Grant's vocals remind me heavily of Satyr. Best tracks include "In Rapture By The Fenrir Moon" and "The Holocaust Trumpeter", the worst are "Shemhemforash" and "Seventh Enochian Key" (both from the first demo, big surprise!!)...
