"This album is perfect death metal: Riff after squealing riff is held together with nuclear kick-drums...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A mind-blowing artefact....BLESSED was the first to combine groove, technical riffage and blastbeats, without sounding as though it were recorded in a swamp.", 4 Stars Out of 5 -- "'desolate Ways' Is an Acoustic Interlude of Sinister Beauty."
