Longtime fans of Bolt Thrower, and death metal generally, will probably skew toward the band's early albums (The IVth Crusade and before), but this is one punishing farewell. Nearly every song boasts a handful of catchy but crushing riffs, overlaid by Karl Willets's morose vocals narrating tales of (mostly futile) battlefield heroics. "The Kill Chain" packs a massively infectious groove, the closest thing to a death-metal single you'll find anywhere and yet without feeling dumbed down. Other highlights include "At First Light," "Granite Wall," "Last Stand of Humanity" and "When Cannons Fade." Production is clear and punchy, which can't always be said for early death metal, with thick slabs of guitars, locked-in bass you can feel, and drums that are just right.

Bolt Thrower took some shit from fans for adopting the then-current groove-metal sound on albums like Mercenary—of maybe trying to sound like Pantera—but here, those elements are incorporated so well into the band's trademark dank, doomy atmosphere, that only the most curmudgeonly old-school fan could resist. The band decided this would be their final release, though they continued touring for a few years before finally calling it a day.
