However, the reliance on clichéd guitar lines (even in terms of in-track repetition) and half-baked tracks make this disc suffer in much the same way as “In The Land of Lost Monstersâ€. There are some moments on this disc that do inspire listeners, such as the drum-beat on “A Mind of…

Formed in the coldest north of Minneapolis in April of 2009, the four wielders of the Wolvhammer were drawn together by both a shared love of Celtic Frost, EyeHateGod, Motorhead, and Bathory, and a shared disdain for the corrupt, decaying capitalist society that confronted them each day.
