Continually we are seeing bands trying to change their sound, get more intellectual or commercial, or pretend that they have gone all trippy from mind expanding drugs, which was common place in the 60's and 70's, which is tired and downright lazy! but in all honesty, most of the time, you listen to a band, particularly with this genre of blackened death metal, because you like their sound, you like them exactly as they are, and it is that sound, look, feel etc... that the fans want, even if it is slightly regurgitated, and with this album, Belphegor have looked over all of their albums, taken all of the best bits from each, torn them in half, chewed them up, ate a virgin and regurgitated this masterpiece that epitomises their sound and reproduces exactly what their fans wanted!!!!!

2. Stigma diabolicum: starts off a bit slower, cleaner, and almost dissapointing until the crunch hits after the short intro, song proceeds to weave in and out of rythmic double bass blasts to single blast beats back to a slower pace, the time changes make you dizzy with glee!

4. Justine soaked in blood: all round cool time changes from up beat thrashy to down tuned slow crunching chords screaming 'dead fucked to pieces', love it!!!!!

6. Shred for sathan: and does it shred! like most albums of Belphegor, they are fast, but always have the ultrafast, brutal track that leaves you with post traumatic stress disorder because it feels like you have had several machine guns shooting right at you, shell shock is nothing compared to this song! Play this song loud, play this repeatedly, play this song to you decaying deaf grandma neighbour, turn that knob all the way upto 11 because 10 just won't do this fucking song justice! Do your part to SHRED FOR SATHAN!!!!!!!

8. and 9. the sukkubus lustrate and Der Rutenmarsch: this song deserves to be in the hall of fame for something just for having the word sukkubus in the title! But this song, which actually is 2 songs as the same rhythm and chord structure flow into the next song, actually it should just be one, perhaps they needed and extra track so chopped this in 2, I don't know, but I love these 2 tracks. it is not the fastest of the tracks, in fact in parts is the slowest, there is less lyrics then most, you know what? I will say no more, it is my favourite track and I WANT YOU to experince this song, it sent chills down my spine and the hairs on the back of my neck stand on edge, you know when you get that feeling from a song, it is a good one!
