This album is just glorious in the most unholy way possible; infernal chants, haunting croons, malevolent growls, and of course Conklin's most-used style, a ball-shattering midrange USPM bellow. The songwriting is also varied enough that you can listen to the album all the way through without getting bored at all; some riffs are more atmospheric, like the intro of "Dichotomy," and some are just mercilessly ripping thrash, like in "Island of the Giant Ants." However, there are really no disappointments to be found here; despite the fact that the album is almost an hour long, with songs clocking in at nearly seven minutes on average, nothing ever feels bloated or overlong; this is just goddamn masterful songwriting. There's not a bad song here, nor do any really stand out of the pack; they're all brilliant. If your a fan of USPM, thrash, Harry Conklin, or Satan's Host, go get this album NOW. This is the true realization of the band's vision, something they never achieved on Metal from Hell but have finally mastered after over 35 years together.
