Like its predecessor, The Grand Grimoire, Bloody Blasphemy is nothing groundbreaking, but it’s so solidly written and performed that it doesn’t really matter. God Dethroned write honest-to-God (or Satan, as the case may be) guitar riffs, some nearly as good as chief influence Slayer, which is all too rare in the fast-noisy-blur world of death and black metal musicianship. It’s another well-crafted effort from a skilled crew. – Steve Huey
