Style: frightening mystic satanic heavy metal

after seven year hiatus the fundamental satanic heavy metal forefathers from Copenhagen were back - such an almighty return [1993] of the legend was equal to the second coming of antichrist himself, as all the core members except the drummer have returned to their instruments, and authentic, creative, mystical spirit of music was reborn anew in its most impressive form; the main point is that it has not turned into another sequel of Diamond's solo project, but remained an epitome of kult visionary band with its ongoing relevance, cinematic feeling and frightening atmosphere; German collectors picture disk edition with a re-recorded version of Return of the Vampire featuring Lars Ulrich [Metallica] on drums as bonus is limited to 2000 units
