This debut release shows the massive potential of Nergal as well as the project as a whole. The style they were championing at the time would peak with the following album, "Sventevith (Storming Near The Baltic)", in which BEHEMOTH would utilize its trademark Eastern influence (which they have carried to this day) and inject wonderful melodies into the furious mix, utilizing acoustic guitars in a fashion which was altogether unique at the time.
