On their second record for UK's Conquer Records Poland death/black metallers Devilish Impressions are poised to make their mark on the international scene. Sounding like a mix between "Satanica" / "Thelema 6" era Behemoth and (later) Crionics this Polish unit combines the strengths of death metal structural heaviness and the contrasting atmospheres of upper tier symphonic black metal acts. The use of keyboards is done in a very tasteful manner and they do not dominate the whole. The guitar work isn't yet quite as intricate as Behemoth or Nile, but is of a much higher standard than most young acts with two albums under their belts. The drumming is quite amazing with a fitting amount of well-placed fills, thundering rolls and relentless blasts with enough double bass – and cymbal work to satisfy the death metal crowd. Much like their peers in Behemoth and Crionics this band knows how to master their instruments and their skill to write catchy memorable material is refreshing to hear amongst the current crop of bands which focus on being the most brutal around. The production is much down the line of Behemoth's watershed "Satanica" release whereas the artwork, design and lay-out could have fitted with (early) Dimmu Borgir and bands of similar ilk.
