This is basically a single, and does contain one very good song, but otherwise is not a very memorable release. Consisting of three short tracks, and only one being the band, this is worth your time to check out if you can find it, but I certainly wouldnt advise going out of your way for this,...unless your a real fucking freak about that kinda shit. The cover also is something that certainly raised the score a notch, and is pretty orignal, or atleast to me.

The production is probably the best aspect to this since in comparison to the bands full length its like a whole 'nother band. I actually find this raw as fuck, necro sound to have a more pleasent, and etertaining value then say the full length Wings Of Antichrist (which this song is rerecorded on I believe) which is very well produced, and in so takes away from the power this band has. Cause lets face it, with a perfect production (like on the full length) this band can get boring very fast for some, or atleast for me.

The vocals are extremely angry, and hatefull sounding, and easily surpass alot of lesser bands. The guitars are just about perfect, in that they are not too low, while still being slightly muddled, and definitely not overly high in the mix either, which can really ruin alot of songs. Also the guitar tone is killer, and the riffing is layed out well. The drums seem to be a bit flat, but only in so that they carry a very warm analog quality that a crystal clean digital production will never have. Overall, yeah this one song is pretty badass on here, but my one complaint would be the abrupt mp3ish ending that is nearly funny in how it just cuts right the fuck off, and not to mention this promo could have been alot more badass had more songs been included.

The intro, and outro fit, and do their job as filler. Not to much to commend, but nothing to complain about them either. The one song is probably the best recording I have heard from the band, but not that I am saying the rest of their catalogue is garbage, its just got a different sound, and a much cleaner, and an actual production. Get this if you happen to find it, but searching for this is not necessary.
