Frenzied, militant black metal ensues on 'Climax Of Hatred', with project leader Kaiser W. providing suitable fuel for the fires of war with his marching, echoing style on the title track. The music made by Kaiser here is directly in tune with the dark nature of mankind, bringing about purely evil sounding blasts and muscular choruses atypical of this extreme style. Ad Hominem summons total apocalypse on 'As I Long For', crafting structures of grinding metal intended for complete and utter destruction. The furious battle rages on throughout hyper-destructive tracks like 'Death To All', 'The Upper Art' and 'My Loudest Scream Of Hate.' Kaiser adds in appropriate keys only where they are needed to aid the ambience, this being a major benefit of Ad Hominem being his showcase singularly. Cold and steely, 'Join Or Perish' is proof of his uncanny, hate-filled songwriting prowess. The entire project is very well put together, it being likely that fans of black metal will gravitate instantly toward this black platter of sonic warfare. At times, Kaiser relies on traditional, head banging riffs ala Venom much more so than his contemporaries, but you should make no mistake; the blasting here is as ferocious as any you'll uncover. Session drummer Altar shows that he has a wide command of many metal beats, but it is in his ferocious double kick drum performance that he really stands out. During 'My Loudest Scream Of Hate', the drummer turns in the best work, tearing at the skins at an insane rate of speed. Certainly, this is an album that fans of the genre would do well to seek out.
