“Being that this is the side project of Dot[.] and Church Of Misery dudes (both completely KICKASS bands in their own right), there is a pronounced sludgecore sensibility to the proceedings here, particularly the overall lumbering, primordial feel of the record and its projected sound. It’s almost as though our merry trio here decided to stay around in the studio after a grueling, slow-as-treacle rehearsal session and bang out a bunch of Celtic Frost worship tunes without bothering to turn their pedals off or switch the tuning up. As such, one might approach as an homage to ancient morbid gods cohered through a staunchly sludgecore aesthetic-guitars are tuned to as a low as humanly fathomable, merging with the bass to form a billowing, suffocationg noxious haze that envelopes the entire recording, the drums are nearly free of idiotic blastbeats, adopting a punkier, more minimalistic approach to complement the primal bestiality of the band.”
“While this record is in some senses more uptempo and more Morbid Tales-ish than their demo compilation, “Sacrifice To Evil Spirit”, there is a LOT of churning, despondently funereal passages here, though they are far more reminiscent of demo-era Winter than the more Vitus-ized power chords of Dot[.] and Greenmachine. Imagine Corrupted playing early Cianide songs, and you would be somewhere close to what some of these passages would resemble.”
