When Therion were a straight up death metal band, they were great. There is NO symphonic wankery on this album, just some slightly proggy death metal that you can't mistake for anything BUT death metal. The riffs on this album are of the highest order, its almost worth listening to it for the guitar alone. There are some clean vocal bits, but that only adds to the suffocating, scary atmosphere created on this record. The production is nice and crisp, with what I think is an excellent thick guitar tone, without being overdone. Everytime I spin this disc a marvel at how it is a cohesive whole, a sum greater than its parts. Highly recommended.
