This eight-track juggernaut by Upon the Altar is a perfect example of a solid and perversely enjoyable listening experience. The pure, undiluted darkness that these chaps vomit forth is nothing short of impressive and all-consuming, and despite the crushing edge and violent aura of the music, there is a good amount of variety to their punishing tunes not to mention several riffs and unnerving parts that jump at the listener and make you take notice. Descendants of Evil stand out from what many other black and death metal outfits are doing; the vocals are simply downright frightening and intimidating, and they blend incredibly well with the music and are utilized as if they were an instrument.
