HOLY FUCK! This is some fast shit!!! I can't say how much I love this CD, it will definitely be spinning in my player for years to come.

The artwork is AMAZING, it's packaged in a very dark digipack with a gold print that's just...amazing looking, as I put it before, it also has a full color booklet with lyrics and the like, the only thing I don't like about it is that it's hard as hell to read the lyrics and the like.

A very long MCD (Clocking at 26:14) of pure satanic black/death metal goodness in every second of play. My only problems were the font used to print the release (as stated above) and the length seeing as this is one of those bands you could listen to for hours and never get enough of.

Loud, fast, furious, and DAMN good musicianship is what rockets this to the top of my list of some of my favorite releases of all time.

The guitarist has to be playing 32nd notes the whole time, with the leads you can't ask for a more talented and wholesome guitarist who throws his entire self in to his playing, the drums are atleast 400bpms and they sound so natural, although I'm sure there are a few triggers thrown in their for good measure. The drummer/guitarists are very in sync and sound like they've been playing together for their entire lives. This is good get-pissed-off-and-kick-some-ass music! That singer is perfect ,and the way the whole product is mixed and mastered is absolutely the best I've ever heard. The vocals come out perfectly in the mix, the guitars, the drums, EVERYTHING IS PERFECT!!

This is very obviously anti-organized-religion, and these guys very obviously spent tons of time getting all their shit together to make this. I just can't believe how good it is! The booklet inside the digipack is also very well illustrated.

Look, buy this, if you can't tell from my review, it's amazing.

not that bad actually - 75%

I picked up this album randomly as i felt the need for something new and unheard of. Over the first couple of listens, it's hard to thoroughly enjoy the music, especially since at times the guitars can get a little sloppy and off-rhythm. But once you play it several times, the super fast black/death isn't too bad. The drumming is insanely fast, the vocals are well-done screeching, and for the most part, the riffing is very good, though at times the rhythm is off here and there, as mentioned before. The long songs are really great, and the Kreator cover fuckin slays.
