I expected a lot more from Acheron than this rather ho-hum offering. Based on the virtues of their last effort, I was pretty excited about checking this out, but it’s not really worth the sweat under Satan’s balls. The first really uninspired twist is the vampiric theme running through the content of the songs. I guess this is supposed to be a “concept” album based on “ancient Sumerian Vampiric Rites”. Whatever! I’m not even going to comment on how preposterous and silly that sounds. It’s one thing to have a few songs about vampirism, or to emulate the image of Vampires, but this is getting a little out of hand. Then there was the “hidden” 99th track. I’m not even going to mention the other “satanic” band that already did this a couple of times years ago, but suffice it to say it is not original, and sitting there waiting for your CD player to count down to the mystical song is nothing less than annoying, especially when the hidden song is as disappointing as this one! As far as the actual music on this, it’s not that bad, but I would recommend checking out Acheron’s other releases rather than basing your opinion of them on this CD. To sum things up, I guess this album doesn’t essentially suck, but you may be a little disappointed by the lack of originality from this band. And you may not feel too pleased if you pay the sure-to-be high price of this disc. Acheron die-hards may want to get this anyway (and bash my head in while they’re at it), but everyone else should think carefully firs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
