Ave Varathron! I was in touch with Necroabyssious back in ´96 by letters and he deserves his glory.

A pretty solid black metal release, with the same melodic riff structure as the debut, only the production on this is slightly cleaner. Each song here begins with a slow atmospheric build up, where as the songs on the debut tended to go straight to the point, starting with the main riff.

I prefer the flow the debut had previously between songs, I thought some of the build ups here were simply too long, "Tleilaxu (The Unborn Child)", "Cassiopeia´s Ode" and "Under The Sight Of Horus", for example, but the riffs, and overall sound is still fantastic. "The Dark Hills" is the stand out song for me.
