Recorded 10 years ago, when 2nd wave goregrind was at it's peak, and obviously being from Ohio, Manticore soaked in all that in what the extreme underground music had offered. It's more than a fact that this recording, as much as some would disagree, ain't that blackmetal at all. It is without a doubt late 90's deathmetal with goregrind type of vocals, best compared to Ohio's Decrepit going Ohio's Embalmer going Impetigo with maybe just a slight bit of Archgoat type of feeling. And for what it is it's a good inside-view at the end of 90's when European early 90's blackmetal reached it's worst commercial peak, goregrind & grindcore ware probably the only genres still massively released on 7" vinyls and a handful of bands, such as Manticore played uncomformist deathmetal unlike the slam-brutal-death-grind that was on the rise from both the mid-west and New York. I now look at this as traditional Ohio-Death-Metal release. It didn't stroke me back then, to be honest, but I surely enjoy this shit now, cause the times proved not much shit like this would ever emerge again..So it definitely has a historical meaning.
