Here's music that sounds like shells from tanks pounding against the wall of the house with the speed of machine gun fire. This describes exactly the feel of the ferocious parts on this new disc from Crimson Moonlight. Just start track five, the remake of Eternal Emperor. This is harsh black metal with furious pounding snare and lots of double bass drumming. There are many of these harsh songs in which keyboards take a role. The line-up of Crimson Moonlight has changed over the past few years. Former Sanctifica member Hubertus Liljegren was the latest addition. A song like Path Of Pain sounds like a mix of Sanctifica and Crimson Moonlight with subtle keyboard playing. There's one totally different track: The Covenant. This final track is played on keyboard only, and what a great song that is! It sounds like movie music. My total impression of this album is that it's amazing. Though the aggression can be overwhelming, there is also much room for breaks. The sound of The Covenant Progress is way cool! This album is definitely one of the best extreme metal efforts lately. The booklet accompanying the disc looks great too. If you buy it, be ready for panzer divisions assaulting your house!
