"Tyrant" sounds as if it dripped from the udder of the last Coffins record. Its death metal assault is carried out through a doom-inspired medium, all of which is cooked under a raw, meaty production. The assault is familiar, but Coffins is never boring at what they do. "Cult of the Throne" sounds fine, what with its doom/death metal theme coating itself in a sludgy drip of crust. The riffs it throws out are somewhat stagnant, however, and its distorted drive begins to falter before the piece goes back underground. Its last few minutes leak into a stomping section of slow, pounding riffs while the vocalist shrieks over the fuzz. It's okay.
