The album's vocals as performed by Dead are superb, and I would argue that the songs adapted from the band's prior album "Deathcrush," are better on this album than on the 1987 version. Hellhammer's performance illustrates his mastery on the drums, especially for the album's final track: "Pure Fucking Armageddon." Necrobutcher's bass is somewhat drowned out but nonetheless heavy (particularly for the beginning of Chainsaw Gutsfuck," and "Deathcrush." Finally, Euronymous proves his skill with the guitar on solos throughout the album, and shines the most on "The Freezing Moon."
