I'm very much pleased and releived by this track.
I though with the success of In Sorti, Dimmu would go the Cradle of Filth route and release their own Thornography.
This isn't the case as Dimmu isn't "progressing" but regressing. This song is less In Sorti and more Death Cult or Puritanical.
Still miss Vortex as he is what got me hooked on Dimmu.
The only thing I didn't like were the female vocals. UUGHQ!!!

That strange like, squealy girl voice in like 1:30 of the song was strange but the song got better and was f***ing awesome. I can already tell this album is going to beat the sh** out of everything that will get released in october

The female vocals ruined the track. They were distracting and didn't sound like they belonged. The tempo kept changing to something different, it's like they tried to cram too much into the track. A miss in my book, but still have high hopes that the album will be devistating.
