There is something about most Italian metal that is just a giant neon light saying "Made in Italy". Sometimes it's total over-the-top cheesiness, a la Rhapshody Of Fire and sometimes it's their amazing ability to make even funeral doom metal sound bombastic, sort of like Arcana Coelestia (which are brilliant, by the way). Forgotten Tomb's fourth opus sounds so wonderfully "Italian" that I'd understand if someone called them the Rhapsody Of Fire of black/doom metal.

A very fine record. Especially for the times, when you just can't help hating everything and everyone.
My favourite tracks are A Dish Best Served Cold, Blood and Concrete and the title track.
