I don't think I should rate this album, because in reality, it's not an album at all, because it doesn't exist. Reviewing this album is basically an admission that I downloaded it in order to review it, and I have read enough about the hubbub this album stirred among this bands fanbase to know that the creator of this was making a statement about piracy or something of the sort.

What can I say about the music itself? It's a digital file on the internet easily findable if you download music regularly, and all it is, is a remix of the previous album they made, Grotesque, into a single track effort of 55 minutes. That's why I downloaded the album obviously, I have a thing about these huge tracks.

The music is predominently black metal but also mixes in classical influences, which gives it an original and quite fascinating edge, but that this isn't really an offical release, and just a joke, stick with the Grotesque album for the same, if not a far better effect.

Seeing as it's just a remix, and not for the sake of being reviewed without exposing oneself as someone who downloads music through shady sources, it's just a frustrating listen really. I can't really say if it's good or not, it's just like many remixes, rather pointless.

I doubt the real album will see the light of day anytime soon. If you are interested in the backstory and confusion about this album, do investigate it, it's quite fascinating.

I'll rate it half a star, because I must rate this album.

Thanks. I think there are lots of great info about the album in the review, but the description of the actual music is missing.

I rushed this review, but I'll re-write it soon.

A short description of the music on the album would still be nice :-)
