This is one of the early classics within the Swedish Death scene, so I didn't expect much from it. Usually these albums are first with something, but is then surpassed by someone else and only apreciated by the ones who were there. Here we have a big exception though. I belive that this band turned into At The Gates later but several members went their own way. The sound is dark and doomy with lots of originality even today. The production isn't very good and I'm not sure if this is a demo or not (it sounds like a well produced demo). It's recorded in early '90 and still stands out originality and quality. very good songs, extreme vocals and a cool atmosphere. The performance isn't the best as it sounds untight, but that just adds to the feeling. 5 songs and 30 min is a long MCD/MLP
