Here we have a death/black metal supergroup!! Yes, Council of the Fallen has members from Hate Eternal and Broken Hope (Sean Baxter also plays in Em Sinfonia). The music is climatic death metal with an emphasis in brutality and dark atmospheres. Here we have crushing guitar riffs with extremely guttural vocals and also we have melodies created with the guitars in order to give another side to the deathly music that Council of the Fallen does. The production is really good (Derek Roddy produced this CD himself) and you can feel the power dripping from all the instruments that are played on this CD. The tracks are well composed and well developed giving the listener all the brutality that it deserves and also a certain amount of melody that is needed to give the tracks their Council of the Fallen identity. A must for lovers of brutality done with quality.

Favorite tracks: "Eternal Sufering"; "Shadowed Horizon" and "Confronting the Absence
