I bought this album after just listening to thr first 2 tracks. I bought it also because I loved the 1st Tartaros CD. This will only appeal to those who go crazy over symphonic, complex, and technical black metal. If you are not a fan of Grimlock, you may want to hear the music first before you buy. If you're into any Emperor, Peccatum, or even Dimmu, then you'll love this album. Also, you have to give the man credit for doing everything himself, form the keyboards to the vocals. Even though the drums are on a drum machine....they are so INSANELY fast..and kick butt!

The first time I listened to this my eyes rolled and I quickly ejected it from my CD player by track 5 or so. More Black Metal nonsense with redundant drum machine chaos behind distorted guitars and keyboards. But, as with any good metal album, the more I listened the more I liked. Individual parts, complexities in arrangement and time changes became discernable. While still chaotic, now the guitars emit more of a complex, amphetamine-derived feel for Grimloch to growl his medieval tainted lyrics. This being said, I must admit I am not a huge Black Metal fan... death, thrash or grind personally suits me better. But if you're a huge Black fan you'll probably really dig this album.

This Black Metal CD has excellent and outlandish keyboards of horror and mystery, blasting drums, strang lyrics.. what else could you want? yes i am silly.
