A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the compilation while the faster sections of the songs also add in a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with the music also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the solos and leads bring in the classic 90's death metal style.
Dark sounding melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the music also adds in a lot of brutality. As the compilation progress screams are also introduced along with the music also avoiding the black and thrash metal elements which dominated future releases, all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as a later track also adding in a brief use of synths.
On this compilation Absu focused more on a death metal style instead of the black/thrash metal style which dominated later releases. The production sounds very old school while the lyrics cover Occultism and Sumerian Mythology.
In my opinion this is a very great sounding collection from Absu and if you are a fan of this band and early 90's death metal, you should check out this compilation. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Immortal Sorcery" "Sumerian Sands" "Eternal Rest" and "Dawn Of Invocation". 8 out of 10.
