I bought this CD about 3 years ago with no prior knowledge of the band. Something about the title "Fuckhole Armageddon" struck a chord in me. I was not disappointed. Hyper-sonic speed riffing with mid-tempo break downs, tortured shrieking vocals, and very intelligent writing/concepts. The over all sound is very crisp and you can hear everything clear as day (even the bass guitar!), but it has a sort of flat quality in a way that only Black Metal can get away with. Think of Transylvanian Hunger but not so organic or dirty sounding, or even old style Bathory. This has a very cold machine like feeling to it. Partly aided by the drum machine perhaps. This is not some run of the mill "hail Satan" black metal clone. This band came from the mind of a true individual. No frills or gimmicks, just pure attack with no compromise. A very impressive album from a one man band. I think that fans of bands like Isegrim, Mysticum, Cobalt, Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult, Genocide Kommando, or even Immortal would really dig this.
