The band pays tribute to old-school black metal without becoming a cliché. Their music is exactly what I want when I want to listen to straight-up Second Wave black metal. The riffs were memorable and weren’t diluted by too-long run times; the drums were resonant and powerful without being overpowering, and the songwriting was excellent overall.
Finland black metal band att the finest.

Great evil stuff, could be unearthed demo's from some obscure mid-eighties band from either side of the Atlantic but the paradox is an obscure band from that time could have never achieved such a level of tightness and production values ;-) These evil nasties perfectly straddle that divide between 'ancient and pure' on one side and 'crafty and listenable' on the other. Whatever way you look at it, it's stuff that makes you max your amp and bang your head in praise of timeless anti-cosmic forces Stijn Van Hees
I'm not that much into Doom, but i listen from time to time. I have this one favourite band, Descend into Despair and ever since I found them, I searched for another band with their sound. Looks like I finally found it, in the form of Rotting Kingdom! LE: Meanwhile I got into Funeral Doom and I got this album to thank too! Gabriel Tamas
This is the most personally appealing piece of music I have run into in a long time - from the beautiful lyrics and art and the crushing, non pretentious gorgeous heavy music. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, crushing - are there are other words? Gorgeous, exquisite.... sock4never
The sad part is I could have been listening to this for the last three years. This is definitely one of the best raw black metal albums ever. The drums are elite. Metallurgical Fire
