a verse from the bible, referring to the title of this morbid, ominous and downright suggestive release [2007], utters: therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned - it announces pretty special, the Black Plague album of acknowledged death preachers, where relentless hyperspeed assaults are equally measured with ominous, utterly heavy mid tempo riffing with Mortuus' anthemic vocals, getting more variety yet firmly maintaining aggression, energy and disgusting approach, while guest appearance by Alan [Primordial] on Accuser / Opposer turns into an epic culmination of sorts; recent French gatefold sleeve double clear black-marbled 180g vinyl edition with laser-etched graphics on side D and pro-printed lyric insert is limited to 299 units
