Comments: Kickass song. Once Upon the Cross was one of the best albums ever, very melodic, very fast, and quite technical (though not as technical as the far less melodic Legion), the only thing this album suffers from, IMO, is that all the songs share the same structure, and it’s a simple structure at that. That doesn’t count for too much though, so I’d still give this album a 9 out of 10. Deicide fucking rule. Feel free to e-mail me with any comments, corrections, and all that other happy shit. If you spot any mistakes, you can fix it your fucking self, or you can e-mail me and I’ll see what I can do. Enjoy.
