5.0 out of 5 stars Onward. onward to Hell!!, July 5, 2008

By	HelterSkelter "ben" (Charleston, WV) - See all my reviews

Here we have a more brutal and raw sounding Abigor than on their previous works. No classical inturements or guitars are used, but it still retains the Abigor sound with it's multilayered music and venomous vocals. This is basically black metal in the raw and traditional vein, with some creepy industrial noises added in for affect. The guitars on this album are fanstatic! Every song is a winner once again...a must own album!

4.0 out of 5 stars Grim/raw black metal, August 12, 2005

By	Doctor Phibes - See all my reviews

This Abigor release has a fairly rough production, which isn't uncommon in black metal, particularly where the drums are concerned. A bit more kick drum would have made a world of difference for the better, but at least the production is consistent throughout. There's a definite 'cold/raw' vibe on this disc that fits the theme well. These are well written songs and the performances are on the mark. Abigor's not afraid to blend different styles and you can clearly hear 'death' metal riffing and 'viking' metal tones scattered among the standard 'black' metal offerings. Good stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, April 18, 2003

By A Customer

This album is sick. As usual with Abigor it takes many, many listenings in order for one to absorb and truly appreciate all the nuances and intricacies of the music. CTQOS may be even more difficult to get in the first few listenings because of the strange, muffled, obscure production, but it's worth the time spent on it. Bizarre, amazingly original, vicious, multilayered, technical, beautiful Austrian black metal. Abigor marches onward in their quest to be the most idiosyncratic metal band on the planet. Highly recommended!
