Fenria emit a unique strain of harsh BM with a dose of chilling ambience thrown into the mix for good measure. The incredible, experimental title track lasts almost 40 minutes and – even though the final third of this is effectively glorified ‘noise’ - never becomes boring. Quite an astonishing achievement!
Raw menace that could stand up with any of Sweden’s most grim exponents of the black genre is allied to cold, industrial soundscapes that’ll make you think twice before next stepping into an elevator. Fenria’s allegiance to all things shrill and fierce resurfaces on the 14-minute ‘C.D.W.D’ - a dense, impenetrable exercise in claustrophobic dementia. Once more, however, curveballs appear and the listener is challenged by the inclusion of atypical intermissions.
The delightfully-named unholy trinity of Necroghoul, Hornaeus and Terrorgoat have succeeded in crafting a volume that is refreshingly different in these days of mind-numbing duplication. Fenria deserve recognition.

Anybody here who owns this album have anything positive/negative to say about it?! The 7 minute myspace snippet is the only sample I can find. Considering that it is merely only 15% of the song, it's quite hard to make a judgment on it.
