An album that is nothing less than an unadulterated cry for total annihilation, 'The World, The Flesh & The Devil' delivers an unforgiving blast of supreme hatred that should come as no surprise to longtime fans of these four sworn purveyors of musical warfare. The dual vocal attack of guitarist Xaphan and bassist Xul rings through the mix clearly, making their message (and lyrics, for that matter) clear for all of those who stand in the path of this black division's war machine. Production-wise, the album is sound. All of the instruments are quite upfront and in-your-face with out being too distorted amongst the blasting melee. Drummer Hammer is a proficient blaster that also holds the ability to move around the kit while blasting on the snare and kicks, a welcome trait for the style. Overall, the sound of Kult Ov Azazel is extremely abrasive, but not as raw as one might expect and that brings you around full circle to once again note that the engineering, mixing and mastering on this record is equally as responsible for the diabolical cacophony you will discover here as is the excellent songcrafting. The dual guitar onslaught of Xaphan and Vjs is relentless in its driving intensity throughout the record as Kult Ov Azazel succeeds in providing the listener with pure musical Armageddon. Having lived up to the great expectations for this release, these four hate-filled Floridians have delivered a blissfully bitter album that easily lives up to the band's reputation for creating elite black metal of the highest order.
