Brutal and true Black Metal in digipak Format!!

Okay, it's a mini-album. But it's a lot better to release a "short" (+20min) mini-album with all great tracks, than a full-length with crap filler-songs. Maniac's vocals are a controversial topic for a lot, but I think his shreaks are well suited for Mayhem's new style.

The album is well-mixed to create a great black metal-atmosphere. Raw, dark, hatefilled, dirty and a bit fuzzy. All instruments are well audible, the riffs are great, overall the music is very fast-paced with some slower parts, but the drumming sounds a bit machine-like. I happen to like all the tracks on this mCD. This is Mayhem's best and rawest release IMO, as I said on the topic.

Noteworthy tracks : Ancient Skin, I Am Thy Labyrinth.

This would've deserved a full 100 points if the drumsound was a bit better. Once again, it's the best Mayhem-recording there is, and sadly they are going to a crap direction in their music nowadays; we won't be hearing Ancient Skin-like killer songs in the future.
