Blasphemous music is an intriguing artform. Sometimes it’s just disgusting, and brutish diatribes against organized religions with the simple aim to shock and offend. If you based your opinions solely on this album’s artwork and title you’d be excused from expecting that kind of work. But this, my friends, is something else entirely. Read more ›› |

Well this is a strange one. Predominantly black metal, these Englishmen have delivered a perplexing album that seemingly knows little in the way of boundaries. It isn't a very polished or musically tight album, but it is very interesting in the journey it provides, with maybe just a glimpse of greatness in there hiding.

Slayer666 is lame like that if he doesn't check out this album and band. Too much genius I would say.

Posts: 2466 Written by X-Ray Rod on 23.08.2012 at 14:52 I did check it out. Genius not found, lyrics possibly excluded. Hints of brilliance here and there, mostly in those melodic leads, but no genius whatsoever. High-ish 7 stuff, no more.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. My first Meads album and I've been left bewildered. I have to listen to their stuff a lot more before I can describe my opinions... certainly an interesting listen that's for sure.

Account deleted Written by X-Ray Rod on 05.12.2012 at 17:44 I found this one to be the most "listenable" to use the term broadly. Many people's complaints about this band are that they found their sound awkward and stunted whereas I found this one flowed in a more conventional way than their other records, even if there is a bit going on on this one.

This album is a king of kings for Avantgarde black metal

Avantgarde may well often forsake flow and familiarity for freedom. This feels illogical yet followable, and what a remarkably original creation.
