The drums are fast and furiously relentless and the guitar buzz makes for an oppressive blanket blotting out the light. Lengthy instrumental passages without words, though growls and roars add to the maelstrom, ooze atmosphere without ever giving up on the sheer power. Some may find the drums too loud and the vocals too buried but I particularly enjoy the mix levels just the way they are. Try to tune out the drumming and focus in on the vocals, it definitely adds to the foreboding nature, having to allow the music to absorb you, to swirl all about you, in order to truly experience the vocals, whispers at the margins of consciousness that must be significant in their subtlety. I like that the vocals are buried even more than on Daemon Qui Fecit Terram. Turn up the volume, the louder the more enveloping, immerse yourself fully.

“Imis Avernis” slows the pace and lets the guitars shine for a four minute rest. “Bastard” speeds things up again, “Doresh El Ha’metim” has a nice thrash drumming sequence and “Mortuus Et Prodeunt Infradaemoni” is excellent in the slow introductory sequence. “Der Tod” and “Obscuritas Ubique Et In Aeternum” get the nod for favorite songs.
