Damn, these guys put a lot of thought into their song titles. This black metal band hails from Britain and one of the things I really dug about this CD was the narration. It lent a really evil air to the whole thing. Then of course there was the creepy keyboards that make you think you're in a Vincent Price movie. Throw in some crunchy guitars and vocals that will keep you up in the night and you have a really good piece of work. The lyrical content is a mixture of science fiction, fantasy, and some creepy shit too. I think people who dig black metal along the lines of Dimmu Borgir and Satyricon will like this little feast.
