Mostly average but also some great songs. Technically very solid. One of very few german bands which you can compare with something like Hour of Penance. Check this out - you won't regret it.

There is nothing special about this release except that it reminds me extremely of Origin. So I said nothing special but when I'm thinking of Origin but not listening to it means that Henker have done an excellent job. It's not easy to get on the same level like Origin but these guys have the potential to do that and have already done a major step towards it with "Slave of My Art". A must have.
