same review in english:
Ehm, can someone please put those sick minds from The Axis Of Perdition back in their cages? Thank you. They drove me completely out of my mind. Soundtrack-like sounds, continuous frantic bleeps and sick badly produced grunts. Look, there must be some people out there that enjoy listening to an elevator going up and down for three minutes, I just do not belong with them. I like a nice piece of experimental black metal just as the next guy, but what this Axis Of Perdition does, goes just a little beyond good taste. Moreover the music, I thought the most important thing of a band in general, seems to matter less than the atmosphere. The bass drum sounds like a cardboard box, the guitars just shriek along with the bleeps, and the vocals seem to be recorded inside a tin of sardines.The idea of making a concept album about an insane asylum is in its self of course kind of interesting, although a bit cliché maybe, and The Axis Of Perdition does succeed very well in making you feel you are in such a place. In fact, if I listened a little longer I think I really ended up in one! This however did not make me want to listen to the record much longer and I think not much people will actually. Maybe fans of Diabolical Masquerade and horror freaks that do not care for a good production can appreciate this. For me this is just too little good music, and too much atmospherical nonsense.
