Drumming aside, this project does have its moments of interest, especially the unusual trebly guitar sound which palpably aims at removing any hint of bass and barely sounds distorted. If Ildjarn is the sound of a rusty chainsaw, Sacrilegio is a surgeon's scalpel. The lyrics are entirely in Italian -- not a problem, although the song titles such as "Uccidi il Morto" and "La Tradizione Ermetica" suggest the usual suspects are the lyrical focus. On second thought, the programmed drums aren't that bad; combined with this guitar tone, the entire album is imbued with a veneer of artificiality that actually does work on occasion. The "drum rolls" still have to go. Sacrilegio still needs work, but have just enough intrigue to stand out slightly from the rest of the undifferentiated hordes.
