Ritualistic so8undscapes and chants start off the compilation before going into more of a heavier and melodic direction. When the music speeds up a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard which also gives the songs more of a raw feeling and the vocals add in a mixture of growls and high pitched black metal screams.
Throughout the compilation you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very dark yet melodic style along with some of the tracks also adding in a small amount of synths.
One of the songs is also a Bathory cover along with some of the tracks also being very long and epic in length. Clear singing can also be heard in certain sections of the compilation as well as some ritualistic choirs also being used briefly. The production sounds very raw and heavy while the lyrics cover death, witchcraft, devil worship and the Qliphotic Void.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Black Altar and if you are a f an of satanic and occult black metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Qliphotic Death Acolyte" "Via Draconis" "Tophet' and "Wrath ov The Gods". 8 out of 10.
