This is quite possibly the greatest Rotting Christ album to date. With a production value that exceeds their previous release, "Sanctus Diavolos" (I know! That album sounded great!), and a significantly added crunch to the lead guitars this band is clearly at the peak of their powers. Not only are there blastbeats aplenty mingled with their signature twin-guitar assault, but there is also an added sense of groove and layered ambience. The most surprising aspect, besides the incredible production, is the fact that included into the gothic mood and Black Metal attack is a feeling of clear enjoyment in the songwriting. The energy level brought to this release is superb and infectious, the creativity within the songcraft indelible to the end. This is a two-disc set. The first disc contains the actual album with a video clip of "Keravnos Kivernitos" and four different wallpapers of various sizes. The second disc is a DVD containing different songs selected from their back catalog, and although the sound for each is muffled and the visual aspect not all that impressive, it is worth seeing just to see how rabidly devout their fans are abroad. Fans should not hesitate to purchase this album as soon as possible; as for newcomers this is THE place to start collecting. The total running time is (42:47) but the songs are so detailed with epic production value and furious riffing that it actually plays longer than it seems it should.
