The album had been waiting for its turn for quite a while, but I finally analyzed it a bit. I keep on saying to myself that all the classification hardly ever, if ever at all, is right. Still, in this case the generalization comes naturally. While listening to the five tracks I - and as it seems, only I - hear the vocals of Mortiis ("Obsession" and "The Revenant"). In the other – the echoes of such a band as Red Emprez.. Or even a bit of good, old Samael.
When I listened to the album for the first time I didn't hear it at all! Silence! It's just the music went unnoticed ... It just sneaked through the time of is five tracks without marking a trace in my memory.
I decided to concentrate strongly on the musical advantages of the album. After all it's what I should do, right? If the album doesn't speak to me I will speak to it!

"Shake the Disease" is bland: though the beginning is very depeche-like, then the track sounds differently than the original. I must admit that it was quite a relief for me. Fighting with such a Dragon as Depeche Mode is not easy! I think they managed to tame the “Music beast”, though now I'm starting to wonder whether it was worth mixing the track then.

"Obsession"moved me! The beginning promises good dark electro in the German way: tasty treat! Then they change the path a bit. Well, I thing they loose it even. Finally, the path they follow has many turns.

I started enjoying "Smile" after I'd listened to it several times. I can't see myself on the dance floor running wild with this track, but it's in my head now! It's great! I've listened to the CD for 87 times! I know what I'm talking about! My head is like a hive now, all because of the sounds – it's the fourth day! “Smile” is alright, I will never get bored with it! The track is really worth listening! It starts like “Rejection” of the album "Chromodioxyd" by Suicide Commando. Tricky connotations? You may say whatever you like! The beginning of “Touchell” takes one's breath away! Really hitting the target! The vocal combined with monumental choruses is almost like Samael'e “Eternal” Very nice!
