The band is considered as one of the leading representatives of the second wave of Greek black metal, heavily influenced by the original Hellenic metal scene, retro rock (especially '70s rock), and occult/spiritual philosophy & activism.

'Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development" is 1990 debut album by the Dutch thrash band Usurper, formed in 1985. The album their debut full-length release that features nine tracks, including "Egoistic Mind" and "Diseased Reality". Despite its ambitious title, the music is described by some as more of a straightforward, late-'80s thrash sound, the production, with its airy, powerful guitar tone and reverb-strong mixing gives it a timeless draw. The best late 80’s Dutch thrash bands were those that rapidly made the transition into a death/thrash hybrid, and then often into full on death metal. Pestilence, Thanatos, all need no introduction, but there were very few bands that stuck with the initial genre and met any kind of success. Usurper is a pretty rare find, a group that actually started off as a death metal act (they put out a demo as Sepulchral Death) and then evolved into a pure thrash act. All 3 demos, Sepulchral Death (considered as Usurper demo 1) demo 1 1986, Chants of Traducement Demo 2, 1987, Demo 3 from 1988 and full length Divine Spiritual and Intellectual Development are included on this massive double cd and double vinyl re-issue. The booklet contains rare and old pictures, flyers and posters. Extensive liner notes from Steven Willems (Rock Tribune, Streams of Ancient Wisdom: The History of Dutch Death And Extreme Metal).
