I love these guys..Is that a guitar or a Chainsaw..I dunno..I can't take them seriously bcuz they take themselves SO seriously ...or is it all an act...taking Black Metal Cliches and ramping them up a notch or two..IF they are serious they should kill themselves in a suicide pact..just to prove how "Elite, and Necro they are..The music is nothing more or less than what they claim brutal necro hate filled cartoonish noise metal..and i can appreciate it for what is..the essence of misanthropic chaos (wink)

TOTAL FUCKING UGLINESS. I definitely recommend this album over their first album. Basically, it contains what I would consider the best production for this sort of metal. Mono, muddy, brutal, and unhinged. The only problem is that the songs all sound the same normally, but considering this album is 29 minutes long, it's not a huge issue.

This is a very low quality release.
The 'songs' are not distinctive at all, each one being much like the next or the last. They are annoying as individual tracks; as one follows another they become incredibly depressing.
The vocalist reminds me of a retarded child trying to chant nursery rhymes while banging his head against a stone wall.
When the guitarist finally essays a lead it is so incongruous that I burst into laughter.
If this project, [b]Revenge[/b] and the late and unlamented [b]Conqueror[/b] belong to any 'school' of Black Metal, it must be the Special Education Class.
Not Recommended!!

Haha, this album is basically a continuation of the first. All the songs on the first sound the same, and all these sound the same as the first, so basically the two albums they've produced is just one long song. The production is horrible even for a black metal band, the guitar has no power, the drums are monotonous, and the bass isn't audible. To make matters worse, Black Witchery always talks about how they're a "cult" band on the same status as Sarcofago, Conqueror, Blasphemy etc, and that "cult releases should be on vinyl only so posers can't get to them". But wait a minute, isn't this a CD???? The only good thing about this band is Impurath's vocals, which are excellent. Otherwise, this is just shitty overrated war metal that elitists praise because it sucks, like all bands in this nature.

This is a pretty raw album... and all the songs sound the same. I'd say its good background metal, angry and primitive but its no Abigor or Immortal. All the tracks on the album are poorly produced except for the last one.. which is a MUCH better produced track.. but it made me realize that they actually sound BETTER in their raw underproduced state. I think they should keep that shitty production and just mix it differently. Anyway, you be the judge.
