What an impressive release, no surprise the album is that good. Just like its successor, maybe even more so, ΨΥΧΙΚΗ ΑΠΟΣΥΝΘΕΣΗ (Mental Decay) manages living up to its name. There is a malign, threatening presence oozing out between the riffs and the atmospheric parts at all times, evoking the feeling of constantly and slowly rotting away mentally, losing grip of ones consciousness more and more. I.A. did a masterful job here, constructing a terrifying journey into delirium. David Fischer

My absolutely favourite black metal album. Hardly a day goes by that I don't listen to it. The screaming of T. is so furious and destructive. The melodies of O. always cast a spell over me. And what grabs me the most is the drumming of J. which is extremely well mixed and really bangs. I hope there will be another album soon!
It's hard to say which track is the best, but for me the album is a complete work of art! Crystal Rites

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
