release notes:
'Teufels' is raw and gritty, which I assume is the intention of the band
at the end of the day. Some of the tracks here are pure Venom clones,
whilst the playing is agricultural in the extreme. The drums are like
jackhammers you just want to bugger off before your head caves in, the
riffs are routine, and the vocals are on a par with Chronos in 1984. In
fact, it's Mihu's vocal delivery that is one of the biggest conundrums
when listening to this 39-minute album for his delivery fits the music
perfectly but in any other setting you'd be questioning your musical
tastes. Slightly out of tune, never really unleashing a full vocal range,
this is basic vocals that you'd expect to have improved by the fourth
album. But then you suddenly realise that this is exactly what is needed.
It's filthy, dirty and with muck under the fingernails. 
It's evident from the opening bars of 'Tunes of Black Contagion' that
this album is going to be as original as a pub drunk picking to sing 'My
Way' on karaoke night. It's not even played particularly well, but there
is something completely endearing about it. It might be the grit and
endeavour; it might be the sheer refusal to conform, or it might be just
the sheer middle finger to those that disapprove. Whatever, a couple of
spins of the likes of 'Rite of the Incubus', 'Scorching Trauma' or even
the cover of Arthur Brown's 'Fire' will either have you warming to this
in a way you might not have thought possible, or you'll be throwing
something at the stereo.
