Had I known what a treat I was in for, I’d never have accepted to review this album.  Sorry guys, but black metal mixed with a bit of trash just isn’t my genre. Although musically I could appreciate some parts of it, what gives this album the death blow are the vocals.  Lots of screams and grunts, and occasionally some real singing.

I should have been warned by just looking at the cover from this album, but I didn’t pay it any notice, so I have myself to blame.
This band previously released a demo in 2008, which got some attention in the metal press.  Not much is known about the band members, no names are know, they’re just called member 001 to 004, with the exception of Teloch, known as guitarist in Mayhem and Nidingir.
My final remark : judging by the compositions themselves, and the music, the other four band members are no novices, they know how to handle their instruments
