When I listen to this album, I think of a huge thunderclap loud enough to shatter the windows of a church. Stupid I know, but I just love this album, and these guys are the new gods of blackened death metal. They have everything I want in a death metal band, with more dimensions to them than bands which seem to go to all possible lengths just to sound brutal. Well this band doesn't compromise any songwriting or atmosphere, and still manages to sound brutal with its earth-shattering double bass assault. The songs have alot of definition, and some of my favourite guitar solos, done with immaculate production. The vocals are some of the deepest roar/growls I've heard done with such control, and another vocalist chips in in parts with evil shrieks. I not only recommend this album to all fans of death metal, but consider it groundbreaking in terms of all metal. All metal fans, especially those who play guitar and love attempting guitar solos, need to pick this cd up. Support the lords of the underground!
