Pfft. Always the same thing over and over again. At first it sounds good but in the second listen you have heard everything, no variety. The musicianship is good, the vocals are good but this just doesn't do it. Enough with the "Satan Rulezzzz" lyrics.

Am I the only one that thinks that somehow this band gives you a symphonic feeling with the guitars in their faster songs ? It's like a faster Demon Burger but not as sucky.

Probably their best work yet, although it's an acquired taste for sure.

i agree with the review, why does everyone see a 70 and they automatically think its bad, when 70 rated on thsi site is a godo album, this album is not that amazing but it gets the job done wel for old school black metal its a nice listen

Where did anyone say he agreed with the score? I personally think 70 is way too high for such a piece of crap, although I've not heard this album yet.

I sometimes need to say such things to keep my image intact.

I'm not kvlt, yet I have no difficulties labeling this album as stale melodeath with shrieky vocals.

:lol:

Arrgh.. I have a january exam in stochastic processes and I can't figure out how to apply it here...

Unless what you are saying is that your review scores is a series of random fluctuations... :D


We need a nerd thread...

How does it compare to Diabolis Interium? I really liked that one, they'd also thrown a bit of variety ( :shock: ) in the pot.

i agree :P .. well, sort of... i think it's (fast) "blackened melodeath" :D with crappy blackened melodeath vox :? ... but it's not all that surprising considering they used that melodeath producer...

I have to give credit to the drummer , he's amazing. He didn't use triggers as the reviewer said and from what I heard he hit the drums using his whole arm for it to sound loud. And he's still so goddamn fast. If any of you play drums I think you might know how exhausting it is.

Alright yet another band that chooses an album title in Latin. Awesome!! They suck too by the way. Man it seems that there are no good metal releases. Goddamn metal has really turned into a big ole' suck fest. At least Razor and Exciter are still good live.

Agreed with whoever said the guitars sounded Burger-y. It's not really as bad as you guys say, just not good enough to stnad out from the crowd. Certainly listenable, though.
