Strangely this CD equally contains everything I like and dislike in death metal. Live, almost brutal, shaggy sound, guitar trills, which sound like voices of little imps (however, they sometimes sound "gishpanish"- take The Fall Of Eden), the voice of the vocalist cracks like butter on a frying pan, all the time making sorties into the black-terrorist camp. From another point of view it's really death-monotone! It seems that keyboards and violins would do good here or there but no… These guys are no humorists. They forge skipper-rough brrrutal!... Apocalyptically-nervous, pressing, suicidal, nocturnal, gloomy… Ehh, if there was no MORBID ANGEL in sunny Florida I would have given leadership to MONSTROSITY. But no is no. Neither IMMORTAL like insets nor March cat cries in the outro will make me come back to "Rise To Power"…Anyway, not in the next 6 months. Verdict: not a very good nailing machine, but may pass for bolting…
