| When Akhenaten recorded this unholy piece of music in December 1998, he |
| created not only his best album so far, but also by far one of the best |
| USBM albums ever emerged from the underground. ôDarknessö and ôpure hateö |
| are the first words that come to mind when listening to ôHeaven In |
| Flamesö. I seldomly heard an album that is so full of hate and despair, |
| that it can make you fall in deepest depression even on a bright |
| summerday. |
| |
| The songs are raw yet melodic (for the bands standards) and carry a |
| depressing, nihilistic atmosphere with them. Songs like ôAn Eternal |
| Kingdom of Fireô and äGaze Upon Heaven In Flamesö clearly benefit from the |
| subtle melodies. In general, the music can be compared with older material |
| of Darkthrone and Burzum without copying them. But it will certainly |
| appeal to anyone who likes these. Akhenaten's vocals are grim and raspy, |
| but comprehensible enough to understand what the songs are about. The |
| production fits perfectly to the music, it's harsh but all the instruments |
| can be heard well. |
| |
| The keyboards are used very sparse and wisely, they never water down the |
| sound, but can rather be seen as a tool for helping creating the |
| atmosphere. |
| |
| ôBefore A Circle Of Darknessö is a special song for me: the mainriff |
| sounds so tortured and leaves a feel of emptiness behind, it's certainly |
| the most depressing one on the album. |
| |
| ôSpill The Blood Of The Lambö is a fast and relentless song, and another |
| favourite for me. There exists a re-recorded version of it on the |
| ôDethroned, Conquered And Forgottenö-EP which is even faster and more |
| aggressive than the original one. |
| |
| The last track is an instrumental piece, it's a worthy closer that gets |
| along with guitars and keyboards only. Don't listen to this album when |
| you're in a bad mood, it will drag you down and show you the most negative |
| aspects of existence. |
