I'm not sure if it really is up to Sami Yli-Sirniö, but I see a significant change since "Violent Revolution" and the introduction of "new" guitarist. The change may be some thrashers too melodic. For me, Kreator have become more mature, more diversified, better. One problem I often have with melodic slices: they will get bored and annoy after repeated listening. Here it's different! I have now heard this disc excessively and am still very excited. "Phantom Antichrist" runs and runs and ... In addition to hot Mukke I can identify with the lyrics. That puts the whole of the five-star crown.
In a nutshell, I can not get rid of "Phantom Antichrist" and can only thank Kreator for a personal Favorite!
