In effect, this is the second half of the Catharsis discography, comprising material recorded between 1997 and 2001. This double LP includes the full “Passion” album recorded in 1999 and the split LPs with Gehenna and Newborn released before and after it—"Live in the Land of the Dead" and "Arsonist's Prayer." It also includes the song “Absolution,” recorded alongside “Arsonist’s Prayer” during the 2001 session but not released until 2012.
What is this music like? We can only cite a couple reviews:
"One of the most literate and explosive hardcore albums ever made... Some of the fiercest and most vehement hardcore ever made. It sounds like a cathedral crashing down at the end of the world. This is passionate music by passionate people who lived and breathed their craft."
—Encyclopaedia Metallum
"'Arsonist's Prayer' is an extraordinary piece of poetry and an intense musical experience."
— Gerfried Ambrosch, The Poetry of Punk
