This is actually a better outing from Glen than his previous effort, but it still just has those flat spots where it feels as though nothing is happening.
The album begins well, and actually reminds me a lot of his early Danzig stuff. Songs such as Skin Carver and Circle Of Snakes are good tunes. Then, the drabness appears. In the past, Glen's drab songs have still been very listenable, because he has made them so. Now however, it appears that he just slaps them together and expects magic to leak from them. Skull Forrest really irks me in that way.
Later in the album, 1000 Devil's Reign and HellMask bring you back to attention, but then the album closes slowly again. By the time you get to the end, you have lost interest in it well beforehand. And that's a shame, because Danzig's uniqueness really had some freshness to it in the early to mid 90's. Now it appears to be seeping away.
Rating : Showed some promise, but failed to live up to it. 2.5/5.
