180 degree turn since their demo. Band abandoned their previous gloomy and raw blackmetal noise in favour of a more polished sound with drums being in front of the recording and a guitar being less audible yet more clearer set at a higher tuneage . Also new are the rusty sounding thrashy vocal patterns (German 80's style ) higher in the mix than you'd expect with lyrics rhythmically ignoring most of song parts in the way you'd normally expect rhythm wise.Somewhat reminiscent of early Katharsis yet even more sloppy and I dare to say annoying at given moments. These songs easily manage to keep their identity due to very nice distinguishable patterns that set them apart yet don't water the album down to seem non-coherent. Lyrics seem halfway from being primitive to being somewhat sophisticated with few very good moments where in combination with the music the magic starts to work.Despite the truly aggressive mix of vocals the album works convincing and very fluent so that it turns it's unusual birthmark into a very desirable and positive point at the total. The album does not demand too much replay but when it does it can seem like a thing out of this word. It is good for special occasions & pretty demanding yet it gives back all it's unusual self in return for a real treat.
