Inquisition's brand of mid-paced black metal has never really raised eyebrows, which is understandable due to the nature of the music, which has stayed sternly in the "average" column of the genre. 'Invoking the Majestic Throne of Satan' however seems to be a solid step above the rest of the examples of mediocrity that jumped on the satanic bandwagon. Their combination of blackened riffs and a knack for writing some damn catchy (yes, "catchy") tunes makes for a truly enjoyable listen. Key tracks like "Rituals of Human Sacrifice for Lord Baal" and "For Lucifer, My Blood" actually have - are you ready for this - staying power; songs that will stay with you over the course of time, looping seemingly endlessly in your head. A rather strange, but unique quality for a black metal release. Granted, Inquisition may not be nearly as violent as Endstille, as cerebral as Krieg, or as hypnotic as Eikenskaden, but 'Invoking...' stands strong as one of the few black metal records that do mid-paced and do it well.

But 99.99? Please, I picked up three of their cds, including this one, from local vendors for like.. ten bucks each. And while an awesome cd that does indeed stick with you through the day, you can get it for alot cheaper than 100 dollars. Just look around for it. Hell, eBay if you're desperate.
