Yes, this release is exactly what a band called Grave Violator should sound like. Fast, straightforward evil black death thrash (with one exception), and I mean that in the best possible way. Imagine _Scream Bloody Gore_ and Possessed from now: that's the sonic neighborhood.
It is mixed well, with a great snare drum sound, and the vocals are clean enough to be dirty.
I am glad they got back into the cult because this is several horns up. perverseosmosis

Black Arts & Alchemy is the definition of a PERFECT EP! Every single song stands for it's own and could be single releases, if they wanted to be. It's a ripper (pun intended) and shows how absolutely brilliant of a musician and composer James McBain has become. A flawless blend of speed, blackened themes and catchy riffs/choruses. This will remain in my Top 3 favorite EPs of all time and it will be near impossible to dethrone it. poutineslayer
