"This cd is insane...After the first listen, I took some time to replay certain parts, i.e. solos and blast beats, and f*%@in a! This cd is craziness, and it slays. It's weird to me that people keep comparing them to Vader, but seriously-Peter writes all the music for Vader, and I'm sorry I just don't hear it. Just because there are Vader members, doesn't make it Vader music. Sound (death metal), yes. Style (Mauser & Hiro have all their own), no. And Novy, he is probably one of the most entertaining dm bassists around. Doc-it's a shame about his accident and that he's not playing right now. If you want to compare this death metal wise, this is definitely up to par. And in no way is this meant to knock Vader, Vader OWNS. But this cd is proof Mauser is perfectly capable of standing on his own. Rest of band included."

Excellent

"If you always wondered what Vader would sound like with more straight forward death metal vokills and less dive bomb solos this is for you. The music sounds a lot like Vader (Mauser and Doc are in this band). Mauser wrote all the songs on this CD unlike their new one. "Hidden Lore" has THE most insane blast beat I've ever heard, if you get this cd listen to that trum track very closly and you'll see, Doc is an amazing drummer. I still prefer Vader over this band, but they are still very excellent. Also, this CD is enhanced and has the music video for "Lion of Knowledge." Get this CD if you like Vader and Death Metal."
