As mentioned earlier, the sound on this disc seems quite unfinished. Now that may be the whole purpose of releasing this album, but I just can�t entirely follow most songs on the album. Sometimes it�s just too much of a noise to really filter out what�s going on. Believe me, I�ve heard crappy productions before, but in this case a little bit of a better production would still have left plenty of ugliness to enjoy.

 

Most songs already contain quite a high tempo, but when �Hell Has Broken Loose� kicks in you�ll immediately understand the title of this song. Holy crap! What a tempo, what a power and what a massive wall of black rock �n� roll! It probably won�t surprise you if I tell you that the song only lasts for a minute and a half.

 

The combination of black metal and rock �n� roll is a very nice one though! The overall sound seems to lend more on the rock �n� roll side which causes the high tempos and raw-edged vocals. The black metal causes the somewhat more darker passages, although they�re not really abundant. What mainly creates the perfect combination of the two styles is the guitar. For some reason it seems to be capable of playing rock �n� roll while at the same creating the darker, more metallic side of the music.

 

Well I guess I�m an ignorant person for not liking the production of this album that much. So be it! I�ve been called a nu-metal kid before (also by black metallers) so I don�t care about that any more. I think Tyrant did a nice job on creating an original kind of music that unfortunately for me lacks a good (or at least a bit of a smoother) production. People who like their music ugly, check this one out!
