After a 6 year hiatus, the band who coined the term "Black Metal" reunite for a very underwhelming attempt at an album.

After such a period of time apart, one would think that a band that was once very original and trailblazing would come back with many fresh ideas to make a reunion that much more glorious; this album is anything but glorious. In true Venom fashion the music is your usual bulldozer bass, skull crushing frantic drumming, and one catchy riff repeated throughout the entire album; in other words, the exact same album they've been putting out since "Welcome To Hell" just with better production quality. Part of what attracts me to Venom is the poor recording quality that goes well with the frantic raw sound of the band itself, it had its own charm to it. This album doesn't have the heart that those albums had. The only new material that stood out for me was the industrial like song "Domus Mundi," one of the few songs written by drummer Abbadon, a song that Cronos dismisses as a terrible song in the liner notes.
