This disc is to me sort of a crowd pleaser. Not a bad thing for most but, for purists like myself is not the sort of thing I favor. In my envisioning of the songs being heard, the first 5 songs are a very accessible way to put this CD on the music racks of Hot Topic with its very clear production, more Black Metal style vocals and exploiting the cheese song titles that only bands like Piledriver could have gotten away with. There is redemption in songs like "Shred for Sathan" that does take those true to the original power of Belphegor back to where they reign the most supreme. The following song, "Chronicles of Crime" is more along the lines of the "Last Supper" times and it can conjure a demon pit to arise. The latter songs fall back to the earlier descriptions and will more than likely gain them a newer audience.

Either you hate it or you love it. In my case, I only happen to LIKE 2 songs but, credit is given to where credit is due. I totally dig the bitchin' artwork.
