"This is one of the albums I'd like to shoot into space so future alien races will understand why we even bothered making music. I got this CD a few years ago and every time I play it I'm stunned at how good it is. Why don't more people know about this band? All the so called "goth metal" fans should be swooning in ectasy over Madder Mortem, yet very few people are aware of them. In a perfect world they'd be recognized for the freakin' geniuses they are, but in the real world I guess they aren't too marketable. The lead singer doesn't have a "pretty" voice and none of the songs are about shagging, so most humans will never hear this album. That's a real shame. If your tasts are outside the main stream and you don't mind dark, bleak (and I mean BLEAK) music then you need to give this CD a try. It's an aquired tast but well worth the effort. I could go on and on about all the good points of this album but that would be boring and take up too much space. Just buy it!"
