To get the ball rolling here is a post I made on a music forum I upload to. As such the rar file is password protected (see above for p/w.) A few of my early posts will be similarly protected but in future they won't be, so just grin and bear it. It's my link and my original and shitty review:

"Proof, if it was needed, that there is far more to US BM than Xasthur and Leviathan; while they deal with the more atmospheric, depressive element of BM, this band deal with "real" Black Metal. It's refreshing to hear an actual BM 'band' (instead of the 1-man projects) hailing from the US and it's a nice change, for although the album is raw and brutal, the liveness of it all adds a reassuring human element to the proceedings. Add to that the seeming lack of keyboards (save maybe the intro) and this seems to be getting back to what Black Metal is really all about. There are a few acoustics in there and a couple of more 'melodic' and contemplatively depressive breaks in the songs, but they are never over done and over all this is a hatefull and harsh album.
In the over saturation of the today's Black Metal market I see this as a shining example of how the original sounds and energy of the movement still have their place but with a modern edge. Though I'm sure some of you who are only into the kvlt stuff won't like this, but for me I can't stop listening to it.
As a quick word on the vocals: fuck. The guy sounds as if demons are tearing to get out of his throat. As another reviewer put, the album "[is a] noxious cocktail of pure, unabashed agony." Truly 'Tremble As Your Heavens Fall'!"

This is Black Metal as it should be, cuastic, abbrasive and harsh. This isn't for the dabblers!
