Necromantia on this album gives as a sacrifice to the gods an offering of cult Greek Black Metal. It is in some sense more occult than what was done in Norway at the time, because "Crossing the Fiery Path" is a truly weird and experimental album. The over-all feel is hard to describe in words; it is like a Dionysian cult with a penchant for French vampirism and forest rites.
