Devoid of satanic and overused, occult references, Veneficum focus on more philosophic and scientific issues while keeping its musicial roots in symphonic blackness. Not as visually colorful as Limbonic Art or early Arcturus, Veneficum's keywork accents their black metal attack rather than gliding it along the astral plane. Veneficum set down a core sound of black metal that is basically Eurocentric, yet with their lyrics and visuals are able to successfully set them apart as an individual band with a unique perspective. - Jackalblaster Zine
