Lord Satan's Secret Rites indeed...

Review Score: (10/10)
This album took 5 years to complete, and I think it really shows. Each song was clearly specially crafted to cultivate death and aggression in their own special way. I can't think of ANY album that gives me the dark, dreary feeling this does-I can practically smell decay when I put on "Buried by Time and Dust". If you're looking for the Spice Girls or the Kovenant, this album is not for you
