Sturm delivers a tempestuous feast located at the nexus of martial industrial and neoclassical; a stirring journey not unlike The Protagonist, only with more bombast. Actually, even Wagner may be embarrassed by the degree and extent of bombast present here, and consequently even the most demanding industrial fan will not be disappointed.

No vocals are present, or even any spoken samples, as they would simply and unnecessarily intrude upon the flow of his neoclassical constructions. Although largely synth-driven, some percussion is present in one of two forms: either pounding drums resonating with the imminence of war, or militaristic drum rolls. Not all the effects are equally effective, however; the attempts at horn simulation on "La Volonté d'Unifierare" are barely recognisable as such, and serve merely to highlight the inherent limitations of using artificial sounds to recreate or even attempt to capture such a grandiose vision.

Thankfully, the synth work is much better than what is used on Von Thronstahls's excellent composition, which would be his opus were it not for the extremely dated and cheap sounding keyboards. His work would also be better served by increased use of piano tinkling -- this is at least one instrument that a keyboard can simulate comparatively effectively, and its appearance never fails to enhance the atmosphere. Still, these are minor points and are not serious quibbles.
