    Rating:
    Third coming from COF, and as soon as you hear it a question pops into your head: "How the HELL can it be possible to make something as good as this?!", yes that's right folks this is perhaps one of the 10 very best metal albums of all time!
    In case you're not familiar with COF yet, lemme tell ya they're a bunch of englishmen spitting out black metal on the highest level. Now some of you might go "they do NOT play black metal for gods sake!", well ok for that, I don't really give a fuck what genre this is but to me it sounds like black metal, although not the standard crap no these guys are geniuses when it comes to writing music, and they play as melodic as any heavy metal band out there if not even more. However, Dani's shrieking referred to as 'vocals' makes me wanna call it bm. And the fact that they mostly play on a very high scale on the speed level. EXTREMELY melodic black metal - that's COF in a nut shell.
    Well enough about that. This album contains some of the best riffs, solos and leads you will hear in your entire life - so you'd better buy this now.
