This is the first full length release from Ohio's Sin Origin and clocks in at a little over an hour long. Quite and accomplishment considering that there are only four "actual" songs on the album. The intro leads into the album's title track and leads you into the Dread Magician's occult world. Especially in sound. Imagine if Blood Storm got in a train wreck with Leviathan while Crimson Moon watched. Yeah. That kind of occult sound. I'm a fan of start/stop guitars done right and, to my enjoyment, in this song, they pull it off perfectly. "The Devil with Seven More Evil" continues the journey into the occult this time with somewhat Dark Funeral-ish riffs into the same thrashier middle riffs and even some more start/stopping. The next two songs "Plague" and "Ancient and Unentered Forests" carry on with the same formula as before and why not? It works. And well, at that. Some might say the tracks sound too much alike but I'd more say if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I actually highly recommend picking this one up. The odd thing is, these songs beg to be played live and yet, are so long. Now that's good song writing. This is evil occult black metal and expect nothing less. I just want to know where the fuck these guys were when I lived in Ohio...
