this devilish, malevolent and monstrous masterpiece [2011] is the next logical step that follows the course of the previous, highly successful and widely celebrated comeback album by glorious entity: ten smashing tracks amalgamate massive deadly guitar riffs at the edge of blackness with haunting melodies and cinematic orchestral arrangements, effectively produced by Peter Tägtgren for this particular occasion, thanks to whom the sound gains astonishing depth and monument scale: massive riffs intertwine organically with choral harmonies, while rhythmic structures take on a hypnotic pulse, enriched by refined dynamic details and exceptional balance of moods, giving each composition a sense of theatrical tension and mystical, all-encompassing grandeur, so the Greeks prove to appear at the peak of their evolution, delivering absolutely epic achievement to decorate the intricate, ominous and dynamic genre; fourth black vinyl pressing in gatefold sleeve with pro-printed inner sleeve is limited to 250 units
