Being a Mortification fan for almost a decade, and having just about all of the albums, I would rate this as their best album. The songs are the best quality I've seen in all their work, in terms of songwriting AND musical skills. I would also rate it as the last, and best (though many say Scrolls is the best) of their older work (which is quite different in style from their newer work). Perhaps the reason it's my favorite is because of the doom elements thrown in - Steve's vocals are no longer just growls, but occasional "doom shouts", and the guitar riffs are especially doomy in some parts. And last but not least, Jason Sherlock's world-renowned drumming is finely showcased here, and is another MAJOR reason I love this album (or any album he contributed to). You have to hear it to believe it.
