Review by Jonathan Ross

The album features a diverse range of metal sub-genres, with each band bringing their unique sound to the table. Hive's aggressive, hardcore-influenced style is a standout, with tracks like "Demonic Supremacy" and "Carnal Cruelty" delivering crushing riffs and intense vocals.

Bosnia's black metal sound is equally impressive, with songs like "The Serpent's Tongue" and "Infernal Dominion" showcasing their ability to create haunting, atmospheric music. Xaphan's technical death metal is also a highlight, with tracks like "Inferno of Hate" and "Serpent's Breath" displaying their impressive musicianship.

Black Sleep Of Kali's doom-laden sound provides a nice contrast to the other bands, with songs like "The Great Destroyer" and "Abyssal Depths" delivering slow, crushing riffs and haunting vocals. Flesh Made To Suffer's brutal death metal rounds out the album nicely, with tracks like "Abomination" and "Suffering in Silence" showcasing their ability to create intense, punishing music.
