Every now and then you come across an album, that at first listen does
little for you, and even after subsequent listens once it has started
to stick can you really put your finger on what it is. This is such an
album, on the face of it it's quite standard black metal. However
after a few listens you start noticing all those small things: the
random ups and down in tempo, the choir thrown in towards the end of
_Anti-Flesh Nimbus_, the reoccurring religious madness samples (the
most prominent being the almost 12 minute long _Blessed Curse_). Once
you start finding these anomalies this becomes less and less a
standard black metal album and nothing short of a great album.
