As bare-bones as Black Metal gets without completely regressing to the point of noise...  I feel comfortable calling this the best american Black Metal album of the 90's.  This is just the murkiest, most primitive and abysmal album you're likely to find anywhere: taking the simplicity and ambience Darkthrone, the sluggish feel of Incantation and filtering it through the simple mind of an early humanoid.  While this album does employ a drum machine, the entire recording is buried so deep in diseased soil, you won't seem to notice or care...
