Misteri di un de-database in generale metallosamente ben fornito: a mancare finora era un caposaldo della talleria più intransigente e marcia. Del metallo più "UH!" Per intenderci.
Il primo lavoro su ellepì dei Sodom non si discosta molto stilisticamente dall'EP di esordio, "In The Sign Of Evil", che proponeva un mix fra Venom, Motorhead e un po' di punk più ignorante tipo Discharge configurandosi insieme ai debutti di Bathory e Celtic Frost come uno dei lavori chiave della scena proto-black metal.
La tecnica approssimativa si è levigata solo impercettibilmente, mentre i nostri cercano di dare un minimo di complessità alle strutture dei brani, che sfociano spesso in un pastone caotico di riff dalla coesione molto labile; meglio quindi gli assalti a testa bassa di "Equinox" o "Volcanic Slut". Ogni tanto viene piazzato qualche rallentamento a caso per atmosfera come in "Proselytism Real" o nella title-track. Il sound è addirittura peggiorato rispetto al lavoro precedente, con le chitarre che sembrano usare amplificatori della Lidl, mentre il sempre feroce Angelripper probabilmente ha registrato la voce a due stanze di distanza dal microfono. In compenso la batteria è sciaguratamente assoluta protagonista del mixaggio, con un sound tipo pentolame di nonna papera, mentre Witchhunter randella senza pietà dall'inizio alla fine senza nessun senso logico apparente, senza azzeccare un cambio di tempo o un fill che sia uno.
Fino a questo punto sembra la descrizione di un troiaio apocalittico, ma chi è più aduso a questo tipo di sonorità sa che spesso i difetti elencati si trasformano in questo generi nei suoi punti di forza, perché mettono in risalto l'ingenuità giovanile degli autori che diventa contagiosa. Per un tallo che si rispetti è impossibile non percepire l'entusiasmo, la convinzione e la voglia di spaccare il mondo e i culi che porta a scapellare selvaggiamente brandendo la granata come se fosse l'asta del microfono e berciare boiate pseudoccultiste che ora sembrano vangelo.
Insomma entra in campo l'odiosissimo sentimento elitista della categoria che dice: "chi non è metallaro non può capire".

03 Brandish the Sceptre (03:00)
Mankind can be bind
But not the words of god
Idioms are free and flourish
Ulmight 'cause sensible
BRANDISH THE SCEPTRE
Mistress of all cults
Cursed is your body
Until all severed end nears
Angels force be immortal
In presence of all the true
Stars grow in lonely nights

Intelligence awake to harmony

Spiteful eyes in face of beaty
04 Proselytism Real (03:26)
Martydom and servitude
Psychosis of a rabid sickless brood
Esoteric dreams a foreign man
Nocturnal flush, frenzied and rude
Buried in a nameless grave
Stand up again the world to save
The fear of darkness and of death
An ormament wedge
Sigh by prophecy
Bestial thought
Drive me in corupt
Hungry belussions
Inseparable huminilty
So man I came with lance and sword
Lead once more the legions of lord
Thrill with lissome lust of light
Come careing out of the night
Ascent to the virceous circle
In an era of fright and terror
A holy document
Hold in hands of unknown
Eradication, opulence
And parish noise
Mephisto the oppressor
Makes me so I like to feel
But I cant believe its true
PROCELYTISM REAL
The day when I arrive the paradies
I flog my horse to the hills of violation

05 Equinox (03:38)
I am that I am the flame
Hidden in a sacred ark
I am the unspoken name
And unbegotten spark
I am that ever goeth
Being myself the way
Supreme for creating words
None but I have ever heard
Emplorer of aeon
Plectren of primal paen
In the sea my father lies
Wept my waters lost forever
Where the waste of moe replieth
Naught nowhere and never
I will shine as he shone
Must go how he has gone
EQUINOX
Fotrh from you and darksome cell
From deep abyss of hell
Coming to view the earth again
See if you can ease distempered brain
Fear and care doth pierce the soul
Hark, how angry furies howl
EQUINOX
For the father and his son
Holy spirits are norm
Male femate quintessential one
Man being veiled in woman form
Glory and worship in the highest
Thou dove mankind that defiest
These my witness and woman
Shall dare the dark agian
Find no sacred ark to swim in
Nemorseless realm of rain
My body wear of empty clasp
Strong as a lion, sharp as an asp
Coat of the flock, I am gold and god
Flesh to thy bone, flow to thy rod
With hoofs of steel I race on the rocks
Through solstice stubborn to

Eriled in the crueltys clutch
Strenghed in the believe in himself
Growned with the charm of salomo

Against apocalyptic mights
Nails claws in his own breast
Eyes so black as night
A red blazed aperture let see
Thee blood filled beating heart
He is an impetuous thundered god
His revenge get cruel
Hateful thought lead him
An almost intolerable sight
With a frightful weight
Demolish christian stamped bodies

Ashes to dust behind his ways
Urged by unveiled damnation
Mankind hopeless fear

A queen so old as time
Secret beauty
Under female ruins

In buring regions
Of her empire

Feel her damp walls
Kneads you swollen balls
In wild orgies
She is enslaved to show
Damned and outlawed

Lewd and abnormal
She pleads for fuild of love
Hungry snd insatiable
Hot as fire of vulcano
She teached you perversity
From birth til eternity
Every time we want tug
Unholy VOLCANIC SLUT
Delivered the vibrating cleft
She slides to right and left
Feel her damp walls
Kneads you swollen balls
VOLCANIC SLUT
