I really don't know how my teenage self missed this Sanctus Diavolus album. Totally hooked. And it is right on par with the other stuff I was listening to at that time.

I fully expect Portrait to explosively materialize out of your stereo, grab your flabby face-flaps with their leather-gloved hands, and scream, "WE LOVE MERCYFUL FATE" into your blood-belching eardrums until you give them your Don't Break The Oath vinyl and they finally go away. I mean that in the best way possible.

Really looking forward to this and hoping it's great. Their last one became a serious favorite of mine, seeming to pick up right where Mercyful Fate's Don't Break the Oath left off.

Fans of the NWOBHM wont be disapointed with this one. It sounds Old School and somehow Doom'ish. Good album
