"This album is amazing. I have been a Moonspell fan for about a year now, and when i saw that this was a side project from the members i was eager to purchase it. I cannot say i am the least bit disapointed, yet i am a fan of pure black metal also. Fans of the new Moonspell album may not be so keen on purchasing this album due to the difference between Moonspell and Daemonarch. This album is blacker than any Moonspell i have heard. The music goes from slow paced to blazing fast in almost every song. The vocals are typical black metal w/some almost chanting normal vocals. Anyone who loves music that has a truely evil sound to it will love this. My main hope now is that Daemonarch will not fall to the wayside like so many other side projects."

Could Not Be More Pleased By This

"This is a phenomenal piece of work that blows away everything previously done by Moonspell. The darker, black metal influences that are demonstrated here fit perfectly with Robeiro's style. (As an aside, I actually thought that the vox on this album on certain songs sounded strangely enough like a deeper more fuller version of vox done by Dani Filth.) The haunting synth and chanting throughout the album also make this a classic. I highly suggest this album to both fans of Moonspell who want to see a darker side of Robeiro as well as fans of other heavier sounds who would find an interest in goth influenced metal with black metal influences. The sound here is definitely much more raw than previous works by Robeiro, but thankfully the production value does not suffer. This album has great variety in both speed and vocal styles, and I very highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the genre."

Excellent

"Man, this CD is awesome. Eveything about it is great. Its to good for words. The best tracks are 7th Daemonarch and Corpus Hermeticuni. Moonspell is good, but this the other side of Moonspell. The darker side. Its awesome."
