"Woe of Tyrants outdid themselves with their second album on Metal Blade records. My favorite tracks on the album are Threnody, Bloodsmear, and Descendit Ad Infernos. The guitar work is a step up from their previous album, Kingdom of Might. Not only are the guitars more technical but also more memorable. As with most metal records the bass blends into the mix. The drumming is outstanding with more blasts and interesting fills. Vocally the album is deeper and more brutal, but also has a small portion of melodic singing, probably 20 seconds in one song.



Other progressions from the band include an Egyptian sounding instrumental, some keyboard parts, and some atmospheric black metal like portions of songs.



Overall a great listen."
