 An album that, at the time, unjustly went unnoticed, perhaps because it was imbued with an underlying gloom.

 A rare example of musical sociology, on par with L’orizzonte a Milano, in which Rocchi describes his city as plagued by crusaders of different flags.

 Sometimes it feels like listening to a tribute band and not real Death.

The reviewer venerates the original 1991 'Human' album by Death as a pinnacle of Death Metal.
