The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

I do not know Häxanu's debut release, yet this is set to be changed in the near future. Totenpass (a word which funnily sounds like a document one'd need in Germany to be permitted to die) is an intriguing, atmospheric journey. I always enjoy it when a record's longest songs are the best, and this is definitely the case here with the three of them. Apart from the atmosphere, another highlight are the engaging riffs; melodic and engaging, yet sharp enough to cut your throat. Highly enjoyable! David Fischer

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
