Tracks: 1- Intro, 2- Prince Albert, 3- Enraptured by War, 4- Jesus Gay, 5- Hail the Lesbians, 6- Szandor (into my heart and my vein), 7- Caligula, 8- Bleeding like Abel, 9- Orgasmaniac, 10- U.N.G.O.D., 11- Oh Satanas, 12- Shibary

Release Date: December 2002

This is a release that is different from the grind death that Lofty Storm Records usually release. In fact this band is pure hateful black metal in its purest form, with some touches of death metal. The music here is extremely raw and fast with hyper fast guitars that play black metl riff after riff and ultra fast drumbeats (a lot of blast beats here). The production of this recording is extremely raw making the band sound even more wild with a lot of distortion in the guitars and bass (this sound remembered me of old Immortal albums). I would have mixed a little bit different the drums cymblas because they tend to cover some of the guitar arrangements but this raw sound is what this kind of black metal needs to be even more extreme. Lovers of old black emtal will surely love this one.

Favorite tracks: "Enraptured by War", "Caligula" and "Bleeding Like Abel"
