The first thing that strikes my mind is that I've heard this before, very
fast B.M. with lots of keyboards and a high screamy voice. Yes, that's
right, this sounds just like Emperor. Practically the only difference is
Setherial's use of piano , acoustic guitars and violin, from time to time.
But otherwise they're almost identical. This is just as well performed and
the material are much like Emperor too. It's good music but they should
really try to make it original eventhough this is nice. Now it's just
another good replica of an other great band.

fast and brutal music, now more in the vain of Dark Funeral then Emperor.
What strikes me first is that the production isn't good. Many of the riffs
are very hard to detect and it easily becomes a blur. This leaves you
remembering nothing afterwards and is a very sad thing. Several of the
riffs are very good and many melodies are very much in my taste. Still the
music isn't fresh or original so it isn't a album that I would recomend.
Still I enjoy it but it's not as good as the debut. With a better
production it might have been a killer album, but it still blows ones
brains out.
