Unfortunately, this album has only been released to fulfill Black Mark's contract deal - and it shows. Mathias Lodmalm had already dissolved the band, heading to his new project Sundown (the band, not the album) to publish their debut Design 19. So these tracks were most probably recorded in a rush by the unmotivated remains of a dead band. Thus, "Caress The Damned" is the only enjoyable track of this rather sad swan song collection...

Yeah, Caress of the Damned is an excellent song, by far the best on this album.
Though I also like Forever and in particular One burning night.
The album in total for me is just in between their better ones (GB, BV, Sundown) and their weaker ones (the rest).
