Once again, Crematory have put together four hymns of darkest brutality, perfectly prepared to immerse the listener in unimaginable horror and heaviness. As with the previous demo, the music here is a nod to the Finnish style of death metal. There weren't really any bands from Sweden in 1991 that sounded this extreme, with the exception of maybe Uncanny or Séance. The vocal tone and frequent use of blastbeats are especially uncharacteristic of Sunlight-style Swedish death, but what's great about these guys is that they know their limits and don't overdo it. The blasting is fucking cool, but it always stops at the right moment before becoming repetitive and soulless. As a result, each song provides a good balance of tempo. For every section of relentless chaos, there's a slower part that shudders with massiveness and misery.
