This would be a by-the-numbers entrant, evoking memories of Dimmu Borgir circa _Enthrone Darkness Triumphant_, if it weren't for the emergence of EBM styled effects, whose arrival is wholly unexpected. I must emphasise that they have not crossed the Rubicon into industrial metal territory, not even that of the blackened subset, but have simply utilised occasional bursts as a means of increasing the tension. These are especially effective as an accompaniment to a blasting passage, adding a new dimension to otherwise unremarkable numbers such as "Fake Adoration Before Abomination". Their use is insufficient to whet the appetite for their full-length, but it does point to a potentially new and less travelled direction for any future efforts.
