The record starts out with the track Slaves To The Pyre, which kicks in like a sledgehammer. The sound is much better than their previous recordings, but still lacks that immense and full sound of the Liturgy record. In essential, it’s an obvious Unmatched Brutality release, because many bands signed under this label are going into extremes. I must say Brodequin still have the crown and with this new sound it really sounds better. Listening to a Brodequin record is like hearing 11 songs with no interruptions or fancy breaks and totally meant to drone you into a head-banging zombie crying for more. I found myself nodding all the way to the last track. I must not forget mentioning the stylish track Verdrinken, which lyrics were originally written in the Dutch language. 

I asked Jamie about this in an interview in Czech last year, but I found my tape with all my interviews stolen along with the car where the tape was lying in. I remember that he wanted to use the Dutch words, but I found an English text in the booklet. I suppose it doesn’t matter in which language Jamie sings in, for all it could be Zulu, you won’t hear the difference, because it’s all one long UUUU. More recommendations are the tracks Tyburn Field and Cast Into Torment.
