With a nylon-string intro fading into the smouldering chords of opener "Desolation", Thy Antichrist return with their first full-length since 2004. On "The Great Beast", "Nightmares" and "Walking Through the Soul," the Colombian black-metal horde fuse maniacal blast beats and vicious tremolo riffs with dazzling classical guitar runs and the preternatural howl of vocalist Andrés "Antichrist 666" Vargas to create a uniquely grim, Latin-flavoured hellscape. "Metal to the Bone" seethes with Slayer thrash vibes, while instrumental "The Last Breath" closes the proceedings with virtuosic panache.
