I seem to be one of the only people on the planet that likes this CD. As most probably know, this is a side-band of MORBIUS and Lord Kaiaphas (ex-GRAND BELIAL'S KEY/ANCIENT), and this is most of the tracks on their demo "The Trance Of The Ever Toiling Witch". Half of this CD consists of raw black metal that sounds like hyper-speed early BATHORY and early DESTRUCTION (also comparable to "Triumph Of The Hordes" by GBK at times). The second part is ritualistic industrial with a MZ-412 feel, and with screaming/chants over it. But all that shouting tends to get annoying after a while. I personally liked the first half of the CD better, maybe because all the screaming is something that had to grow on me...
