The decision to include a 13 minute spoken word rendition of a "Satanic mass" (blatantly play-acted and cobbled together from various sources, including Anton LaVey's tedious brand own of commercialised Hollywood Satanism and Dennis Wheatley novels) perhaps overshadows any other aspect of the coven's debut album. The fact is that whilst its inclusion what controversial enough at the time to get some temporary publicity for the band, the album's reputation has suffered in retrospect for the inclusion of 13 minutes of embarrassing and often tedious Satanic ritual which goes absolutely nowhere.
It's a crying shame, because if you actually ignore the last track there's some solid psychedelic rock with progressive moments on this album. Thematically more reminiscent of Dennis Wheatley and hammer horror movies than anything more sinister, the usaisuva Satanism offered here would look wimpy next to even the (still quite cartoonish) antics of venom or Mercyful Fate in the 1980s, let alone the extreme the black metal scene would reach in the 1990s, but it does offer a precedent for acts such as blood ceremony , Uncle acid and even electric Wizard close, with blood ceremony in particular coming to the coven sound in their more psychedelic moments. But at the same time, we can't pretend that the band didn't offer up on album with unforgivably high proportion of filler in the form of the mass. Three stars seems fair. (Warthur/progarchives.com)
