This is pure misanthropic black metal, born from Darkthrone and Mayhem and pushed to the new millenium. This has got to be the most evil and blackened and hatefull thing I have heard in a while, Craft really put themselves at the top of the black metal scene today. This black metal sounds like a combination of sludgey, Panzerfaust Darkthrone and also early bone chilling sounds like on A Blaze in the Northern Sky. This is the first Swedish black metal bands I have heard that doesn't sound anything like Marduk and that's a very good thing, because I was getting sick of that melodic Swedish sound.
This is pure blackened evil and is suggested to all you dark souls.

This has got to be one of the best black metal releases by Moribund Records. This is total, annihilating black metal of the highest order with absolutely no compromises, no melodies, no female singing and no keyboards. It's just pure, horrific in-your-face black metal that hasn't forgotten its roots. Craft is from Sweden, and their music brings to mind the raw compositions of Arckanum and the macabreistic atmospheres of Abruptum, who are also Swedish, while bringing to life the spirit of the early `90s Norwegian pioneers, namely Darkthrone. Is this a bad thing? Not at all, if most black metal bands knew where they stand they never would have evolved into pointless electronic pop acts, like it has happened with many bands. Craft is simply being passed the torch and I can only see them getting stronger and developing into a force to be reckoned with. The essence of Craft's music is awe-inspiring, their vision is black and white (and that includes the CD booklet!) and their hateful hymns are some of the most punishing ones I've heard in a while. Don't be afraid...be frightened of releases like this.

Craft is a black metal band that truly stays true and Total Soul Rape proves it. The dark, chilling atmosphere of buzz saw guitars mixed with the awful screams, and howls defines black metal. This CD is pure blasphmey, this is TRUE black metal!!!

Craft, with a simple name, a simple album cover, and a simple mission, to destroy planet earth and all the whiney ass people that inhabit this pathetic planet! Great Black f$cking metal here!!! No wussy keyboards, no crappy female vokills for "atmosphere", this is real, raw, true torturous blackened metal! The name Total Soul Rape says it all! For that's exactly what this album does to you! I love blistering speed, but what i love about this band is the music is a lot slower, but it's not b/s "groove-crap", it's just...just buy this album along with there other 2!!! Great Metal from Sweden here!

Satanic Doom Metal at it's worst. Theres no rythm to their songs on this crap,drums suck badly,guitaring is doodoo if you can hear it,quality is off and just easily put,it is an embarassment (musically) overall. I gave it 2 stars because I love the lyrics. I wish Misanthrope was a religion instead of a feeling. Might I recommend: Sargeist - Satanic Black Devotion. Even if you don't agree with my opinion,whatever. Just like everyone else,I'm judging the album by my taste and standards.
