Totally fuckin' catchy album!!! I love the riffs and the energy it fills me with

This album is just so awesome! It's amazing how many cool riffs, different (and seemingly hard to reconcile) styles of playing, as well as vocals are packed into this album, hell even into each song! This has been a go-to for me lately when I'm not sure what I'm in the mood for, a distinction which used to go to Immortal - At the Heart of Winter, and I can see some comparisons there. The more 'Black Metal' moments are some of my favorites (Erased and Forgotten) and that style of vocals has never been so infectious before.

But let's forget about all the genre labels here, that takes away from the enjoyment of a really cool, really catchy, original album!

I find it fast and nice, a tipica leasy black/thrash. Maybe it can foreseeable and a bit ripetitive during the listenings

I dont get what some people dont like about this album. it's fast ,somewhat catchy and melodic , the vocals are well-executed what's not to like about it?
the only thing I reject about it- is that it's often called black thrash which is just plain wrong because the only black metal elements on this album are the vocals.when someone mentions black thrash or thrashy black I think of Immortal which is just much more black than Skeletowitch.

I listened to this again because I wanted to hear what cheesy glam speed disco sounded like.

People who call this album black-thrash metal have no idea how black-thrash bands sound like.

This is plain cheesy modern melodic death metal.

you heard it from the kvlt himself.

Classic case of one opinion vs the world.

Can we trim the quotes guys?

This is really great, it's not the best of the genre (at all) but it's still really good, and a major step up for Skeletonwitch, considering how boring their other albums got after one listen through.

This album ROCKS!!!!! Yeah it's short...but that what helps to make it so good. There is zero bullshit filler!

Short, but sweet.

Whoever said this was cheesy glam watchamacallit...no. This album is very very good, but not mind blowing awesome. Great production, great thrashy deathy sound and just a kick ass fast paced ride of evil metally goodness. Gripes include very short songs and album in general. I really think this album deserves something like an 8.5 thus why I gave it a 9 to nudge it forward. on a scale of 5: /5

I popped this album back in the CD player this week and I noticed something that didn't really hit me when I was spinning this when it was released. The vocals sound really muffled in the mix. It feels like there is no attack in the vocal delivery. I wonder if it is the way the album was mixed?

This is a truly great band with an exceptional discogrophy. As usual an excellent record, it has a tremendous flow with lot's of aggressive energy ane a ton of speed, with great riffs. As a whole it works brilliantly, but it just lacked those individual stand out tracks.
