line-up of multinational death metal supergroup was reinforced by Dutch bassist Ype Terwisscha van Scheltinga, and with eight tracks plus intro on their sophomore full-length, recorded during a session in Portugal - as the title already suggests - they returned to the spotlight with distinct grandeur and impact: new cuts feature much refined structure, more spacious sound and clearly articulated direction of menacing music, arranging blackened death metal through monumental harmonies and sharper dynamics, where Blasphemer’s riffs grow heavier and lock into rigid rhythmic frameworks, as Flo Mounier’s drumming reaches almost dramaturgical level, complemented by David Vincent's increasingly assumed role of a deranged narrator, creating an epic, intoxicating effect; French three panel digipak edition with die cut cover detail and sixteen page booklet is limited to the first press
