Operating as a stripped-down guitar and drum duo, the controversial outfit continues their exploration of cosmic Satanism and incredibly dense riffing. The album relies on Dagon's signature, frog-like monotone vocals and bizarre, droning guitar chords that evoke a vast, terrifying interstellar emptiness. It was highly praised within the extreme metal underground prior to the band's subsequent, severe public controversies.
