Artist Origin: POL
Style: monumental intense black death metal

highly ambitious record [2009] of this amazing and ferocious three-piece stands out with a sophisticated blend of relentless death metal brutality with majestic, orchestral elements and complex, layered compositions, pushing the boundaries of the genre, pouring from the speakers not just unrelenting, intense and unstoppable music, but also enigmatic, esoteric wisdom with a meticulous attention to detail; super heavy, tight, fast, catchy, organic and epic tracks overwhelm by their completeness, including of course the sophisticated and atmospheric grand finale, the Lucifer epos, which is sung in Polish with masterfully layered Nergal's vocals, while a subtle middle Eastern flair makes music even more intriguing, much like the mix of Colin Richardson; recent German gatefold sleeve transparent red vinyl edition with a four page lyric insert is limited to 1200 units
