"I am a new fan of this fantastic band, and this was the first album I stumbled upon. From the moment I popped it into my CD player - and I was absolutely compelled.. COULD not wrench my attention away. The music is dense, dark and a solid wall of uncomprimising evil melody. Production is solid, the drums especially are a slab of crashing noise.. I am not a fan of overuse of guitars in my music, but OMC makes their guitars truely symphonic in their sweeping nature.

This album stomps over a cold and barren landscape and then kicks your teeth in to finish it all! A must have, I cannot recommend it enough."

This CD rocks!...

"I love this album! I'm not a big black metal fan, I listen to some black metal bands though such as Emperor, Sacramentum, Satyricon. As I was saying, I love this album. It has an extraordinary combination of melodies, different tempos, lots of keyboards and vocals that seem to come directly from hell. The keyboards create different atmospheres, from the most violent and aggressive to beautiful and sweet melodies. Another positive part is that I can listen to the whole album and not getting bored. It's really versatile with lots of changes of rhythms. This album was produced by P.T. at The Abyss (Hypocrisy, Edge of Sanity, Children of Bodom) so you can expect an incredible sound. The only thing that annoys me is that it has only eight songs. Let me tell you that with albums like this I'm sure I'll go further into the black metal kingdom..."

The Best OMC Title To Date

"Yeah, sure everyone compares this CD to Dimmu Borgir's Spiritual Black Dimensions, but the only real reason for the comparison is the recording sound, it has the quickly becoming famous Abyss Studio Sound and was produced by Peter Tagtgren. Personaly I think the song quality and the inclusion of female vocals propels this album above Dimmu Borgir's effort. And, when compared to other OMC albums, this is one of the darkest and most evil of all of them. And it's not just a one listen CD, this is the kind of album that gets better the more you listen to it. Overall, a great buy and the first really great black metal album of 2K."

Just another 5 star OMC cd

"I dont know if I mentioned it in other reviews but I think Galder is one of the top musicians in Black Metal. There are some keyboardist who are better, and some guitarist are better, but Galder does everything except drums and he is exceptional when doing them. When I first got this cd I wasnt to fond of it. At that time I was a Dimmu and cradle fanatic so this didnt get as much attention. Well now cradle sucks nowdays, and dimmu is not as good as they used to be so I have given a lot of attention to OMC and I am loving it like never before.

Phantoms Of Mortem Tales-8.5 Grand epic opening. Than mean riffs kick in. There is a good solo about 4 minutes in. I like everything about this song except the horns at 4:37. They are good but for some reason it just rubs me the wrong way.

Hominis Nocturna -10 This is one of my favorite OMC songs other than agony of fallen grace. Very lush keyboards mixed with some great riffs. It has some really good choir like keyboard in the mix. Towards the end Galder utters some sort of prayer or chant in a sinister voice. My favorite part is the beeping guitar solo towards the end.

In Black Endless Void 10 Opens with some dark classical reminiscent of lord of the rings. As usual plenty of good riffs. Very evil sounding song.

Unholy Vivid Innocence 10 Very symphonic sounding song but not overly symphonic. The melody is not the focal point.It is mainly there to compliment the blazing riffs and double bass. The song actually has a catchy chorus by Galder. At 3:30 there is a awsome solo. It is not overly compicated but it sounds so good. Musically this song reminds me of something off of Dimmus Stormblast.

Passage To Pandemonium 7.5 Same formulas as other songs with riffs and keyboards its just not one of my favorites. Some songs you like more than others, and I like the others more than this song. Still a really strong song.

Obscure Divine Manifestation 7.9 Very fast and heavy song. There are some moments of melody but the rest of the songs here are pure brutality.

World Expiration 8.5 Alot like the last song but I like this one a lot better. It has a really good solo around 3:30. It also has a brief accoustic section that I just love near the end. It doesnt take away from the songs heavynes.

Into Silence Embrace-9 This one has a lot of melody but it is still consistantly heavy. Lots of good heavy drumming. At about 2:09 there is a evil circus like melody. Overall this song is nothing new, but if it works this good why f#$k with it.

On a side note if you like OMC I encourage you to go and discover the band Windir. It is as good or maybe even better than OMC. The genious behind that band is Valfor R.I.P He is probably one of my favorite musicians of all time."
