The prelude is haunting, Gregorian and downright terrifying. Evil Rising is filled with big bombastic riffs and some seriously searing vocals, the drums add an extra element of heavy, an all out epic track. Unholy War is fast, filled with shivering vocals, and snarling riffs. Hate Is Born is slower, filled with heaviness and groove. Omens is slow, gruesome and downright terrifying in its vocal delivery. Mortification Of The Flesh is a slithering, disjointed song that provides real thump.
Under The Cross of Pain is filled with harmonies, slithering and dancing through the vocal performance and the serious riffage. Straight Down To Hell is filled with big bombastic riffs, and an epic vocal performance. The Mask has a seriously killer introduction riff, and from there moves into some serious grooves. Forest Of the Impale is fast, dancing and snaking. The Scourge of God opens with a choral harmony, before moving into absolute carnage with the riffs and the slow trending rhythms. Visions starts off acoustically, it gradually gets heavier and broader and bolder.
The album is out on 15th June via Massacre Records.
