This was the first KRYPTOS album I got my hands on and after the very first listen I cursed myself for not giving the band the due attention and listens it deserved. The album is not just about straightforward aggressiveness but also packs a solid punch in terms of melody. What surprises more is how the band's experience and time in the scene shows on the song-writing. The way the songs are structures, placed in the album show that the guys have really put in a lot of thought into making the album a complete grenade just waiting to be dropped and explode, devouring everything in its wake. The trend of having a soft but small interlude between two heavy tracks has hit the Metal scene since long but only few bands like KRYPTOS have the knack to compose something so serene , yet connected to the rest of the album. So also the way it is placed in the track list plays an important role when you have new as well as old fans suddenly being subjected to something so different.
