Volume I-IV

This is a review on the box set itself, NOT the albums. This thing would be the size of a book if I did that. I will review those on their own, though I'll mention my opinion on them.

Being a die-hard fan of the band, I knew I had to get this the second I saw it. It's limited to 5000 copies, so it might be harder to find, but the search is definitely worth it. This set includes their first 4 albums (their best ones in my humble opinion), with all the additional B side bonus tracks. I assumed they were all remastered, but only Moon In The Scorpio is remastered, which is a huge selling point to me since MITS is one of my top 3 all-time favorite albums. The original quality was terrible, but they were extremely limited in their recording equipment so I don't feel like it's fair to complain too much on that. Kind of a shame that the rest of the albums aren't remastered, which is the only reason I took 5 off.

If you already have these albums with their b side tracks (which to me are all great), and/or Moon in the Scorpio remastered, you won't be missing much. The set comes in a beautiful a5 sized digipak/digibook with 4 CDs, each for their corresponding album, as well as an a5 sized booklet with the tracklisting of the songs and some band photos. If you don't have any albums of the band, then this would be a great buy, IF you can get it for a reasonable price. I spent about 100 bucks for a sealed copy, but to me it was well worth it since I use at least one of the albums from the set at least 2-4 times a week. I love it that much.

I prefer Moon In The Scorpio and In Abhorrence Dementia over their other albums. Epitome of Illusions is basically most of their original demo material re-recorded and much better sounding. It's a very underappreciated album. Ad Noctum is also great, and it's the band's take on fusing industrial and black metal together. All 4 are amazing albums and definitely worth a listen. (buy it if you can!)

Limbonic Art are probably(or should be) what people think of when they think of extreme metal. This music is nothing other than that. With the drum machine wearing itsself out from constant inhuman speed and agression, the music on top is rather calm but very abysmal and ominous sounding. Theres heavy keyboard use but not cheesy or overbearing, they just amplify and complete the music by filling in the cracks. This 4 CD collection contains like 4 hours of their music and it usually runs somewhere around $30-35 which is relatively cheap compared to getting the CDs separately. Theres not really any filler here so you're getting just about all solid music ,and it has all the bonus tracks from the Chronicles of Limbo, so youre not missing anything. I bought this and it was worth every penny, I love this band to death and if you do also this is perfect for you. Or if you're not sure you want to buy all four of their brilliant CDs in one package you could go for them individually. And if you haven't heard fo them yet its about time you do.
