"The Shackles of Mammon" is vicious blackened thrash at its finest. Obviously, Venom and Bathory are touchpoints but this is not a carbon copy. Craven Idol's songs are unique, extremely well-crafted and precisely executed. Just a fucking great feel to the record, like you know you are listening to the real deal the moment you hit play. bcb723
Please, if you love this, go listen to the 2002 December Wolves album "Blasterpiece Theater" - this is less crazy than that, but a spiritual (no pun intended) successor!!! BookendS
This young man is incredibly talented, the progress is also noticeable from album to album, new discovery for me and I do love them ALL !!! sachavonkarl74
