Beaucoup l'adorent, pourtant cet album a été pour moi une petite déception, j'en attendais peut-être trop. Je lui mets pas moins de 4 étoiles car c'est quand même très très bon.

Can't believe noone has reviewed this gem of a record. I bought this on the strength of the Terrorizer review and wasn't disapointed in the the slightest. From the start of Masters Of Disguise you are transported on a mad etherial journey through the mind of the devil portrayed in a true prankster fashion as he "charms the guests, rides the ball" and on in to the gorgeous strings and epic guitar work on Ad Astra and on to one of the highlights of the album the Chaos Path with it's amazingly disted vocals, jazzy dischordance and jungle ending. The title track itself is a single piano loop with some reversed drum hits, laughter and spoken word which is a nice interlude before the blastbeats of Alone kick in and unleash a stupidly catchy anthemic melody. The Throne of Tragedy continues on this theme and Painting My Horror is just as intense although makes the mood more sombre before Of Nails & Sinners rounds things off with the classic line "and you know the voracious one was I". Sends shivers down the spine every time. The way this album is composed is flawless and the pacing and colours of each track, perfect, any fan of progressive innovative music should find something of interest here.
