This album is absolutely horrible. Production sounds like something recorded in a basement with a boom box. Guitars are out of tune and boring. Lots of nonsensical tempo changes. Drums are nothing special, which is odd because Hellhammer is a very talented drummer, he is capable of a lot more. Vocals are about the only thing I like here, Atilla sounds very "necro", which is why I'm giving it two stars. I would only recommend this album to a die hard Mayhem fan like me. Otherwise get "Grand Declaration of War" or "De Misteriis Dom Sathanas", these are true Mayhem classics.
