This album does not only appeal to linguists and anthropological types though, and while anyone expecting a return to the Hellenic Black Metal style of old will not be pleased this is stylistically trademark Rotting Christ to the bone. The drumming on this album is nothing short of thunderous and the unmistakeable tremelo-picking guitar style laced with killer melodic licks and pinch harmonics produces more great riffs than ever, meaning there is not a dud moment or track on this whole record. “Gilgameš” briefly shows a little more old school flair with Sakis trading in his newer orc-like bark for his previous blackened rasp, but to really get something close to the early Rotting Christ sound you will need to get the special edition of this album for the bonus track “Welcome To Hel.” Not only is this a clever pun but a slick, clean and powerful update on the sound perfected on their early albums that makes me wonder if an album of re-recorded classic material with their current huge studio sound is a possibility. For now though Rotting Christ's eyes are looking firmly forward, and a track like “Русалка” which showcases some amazingly catchy riffs as well as seamless alternation between Sakis' barked vocals, whispered sections accompanied by chimes and the Gojira-like soaring clean vocal parts is stunning, and shows that this band's creative well has not run dry yet. - Metal Archives
