Feedin' The Children is a great track as well.

It's Feedin the *Charlatan, though I'm glad you're worried about the children.
This is definitely a great album, though Crimson (I & II) and Purgatory Afterglow are all better in my opinion.

Yes Crimson I is one of my favorites. Purgatory Afterglow is good but I haven't heard it for a while.

My 1th album I bought for my own money in 1998 , later my friend fucked it up, so I dont give CD's anymore, those days are over.

Intro, sich pasage whit guitars, then aggressive music, manowar cover, sacrifiece and charlatan song, my favorites. I dont know why I lost touch whit DM later in mid 20's but old bands many bnands has good riffs, same here, I hear here all I like. Maybe its overdramatic since my 1th album blabla but still I love it a lot. My fav album in that genre.

Very good album! I think I like this more than Purgatory Afterglow, although they have a similar style, mixing classic death metal with progressive and lighter elements. The buzzsaw guitar tone reminds me a lot of Entombed's Left Hand Path.
As for my favorite tracks, The Masque is epic, the riffs of the opening track and Darkday are mesmerizing. Sacrificed is a pretty unique song in metal: it sounds like an 80s disco song turned into metal - the result: super entertaining Dan Swanö masterpiece once again!

They released a remaster of the song Darkday, it sounds great, love it!! I always had issues with the mixing of EoS albums. Would be dope if they did this with their entire disco.

They’re rereleasing Swano’s entire body of work. They just did it with Purgatory Afterglow and Nothing But Death Remains.
