Album Notes & Community Reviews

Alongside Rotting Christ and Necromantia, the band's debut fundamentally established the warm, mid-tempo characteristics of the Hellenic black metal sound. Utilizing traditional heavy metal riffing, prominent atmospheric keyboards, and deeply mystical, occult lyricism, the album creates a grandiose and uniquely Mediterranean atmosphere within extreme metal.
