Coming off their best record yet in 1996's {^Passage}, Swiss {\black metal} gods {$Samael} released this five-track EP as a stopgap before beginning to work on their next album. They also got to utilize the mostly solid leftovers from the previous record, including {&"Exodus"} and {&"Tribes of Cain."} Still, only serious completists will need to venture here. ~ Ed Rivadavia, All Music Guide
