Pure raw and ugly black metal from Southern CA featuring a former member of ENCHANTED SORROW (rip). CENTURIES OF DECEPTION seems to have vanished, though. Anyway, the music is primitive, dark, and non-melodic, certainly the type of stuff I look for. The drum machine is something that may take getting used to, as those I know who've heard this always complain about that the most. The vocals are one of this releases best aspects, they're so grim and hideous, AARRGGHH!!! I must confess PERDITION's vocals are influenced by these vocals a bit. Anyone that likes RAW black metal should get this, but it may not be easy since it's been out of print for some time...
