Some first rate musicianship on this record, but it's slow, slow, slow, for like an hour. Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, Cathedral, Electric Wizard, they're all slow too. However the vocals for these latter bands, though usually sung at a slow tempo, are nonetheless intense. The singing on this record, in contrast, is so mellow as to approach shoegaze. Peter Steele was easily as talented a singer as Messiah or Lowe or any of them but, man, it's.....juuust................soooooo.................................meeeeeellooooooooow. Holy shit, HEEEEEELLLLLP! Every time I listen to it I gasp for air and toss in some Kreator to get my blood moving | 3.0

Solid. Some of the riffs make me think Angelripper is listening to a lot of old-school street punk, GBH, Exploited, bands like that. The production doesn't have the personality of the previous record, but I hate to admit that that's probably why I like this one more | 3.5

Four absolutely fuck'n KILLER songs, and five more that don't quite match the former's artistic depths, not to my ears anyway. Looking forward to a deep-dig on this band, cuz I assume there's a lot more delicacies in the pantry. And I'm not talking regular old saltine crackers here. Those four are RITZ crackers, man. Fucking delicious | 4.0

Production on these old records is vastly inferior to their later work, and the infusion of metal chuggas lend the later ones a depth the early hardcore/street-punk records lack. But the early records, created before thrash metal even existed, have a wild energy that clearly bespoke how much fun it was to kick the shit out of each other at shows, and how satisfying it was to stick it to popular music, inferior as it was -- and is to this day -- when it comes to relating to their lived experiences. Besides, Slayer covered a couple of the tracks on this one, and if it was Classic enough for Jeff Hanneman, then it's Classic enough for me | 5.0

Don't love this one from start to finish, but it's got a few tracks that are absolutely top-shelf | 3.5

Can't understand for the life of me how few followers this band has on Spotify. Perfect modern scream/growls over killer melodies from start to finish. Pairs well with Paradise Lost's recent releases for a slower tempo, Cradle of Filth's for a faster one | 4.0

Thrashy rhythm sections driving melodies taken straight from the medieval bagpiped warrior tunes of yore. Awesome | 4.5

 | Dewinged Hey friend. No rule about editing your own reviews. I have a few I truly hate myself but I don't dwell too much on it. I don't think you should bother either but I'll leave that to you!

 | XyphDryne Why would it be dark to visit a church? Sure, when thinking about the poor devils who had to build it or what the church represents..well. But one cannot deny the architectural achievements. So I really love to view churches. Recently, we even had a 90 minutes tour in just one and learned a lot.About Discord: I am sorry, I do not use it at all ¯\_(?)_/¯
