Thanks you for your kind words :-)

The mix is rather "dirty" and "dark" which is quite intentional. Our aim 
has been to make it even more dirty than many other metal releases out 
there in order to emphasize the rawness of the music.
A kind of "back to basics" philosophy one might say.

I agree that the snare could have been tweaked a bit more to the snappy 
side, but unfrotunately we ran out of time and we couldn't keep the sun 
from passing the solstice point :-p

I might do a "remix" in the coming weeks with some minor improvements.

Teaser: In the (hopefully) near future myself and André Nusser will be 
releasing a single with our joint effort "Sigkill". And that will be 
mixed in a much less dirty way than Seed of Heresy since it is of a much 
more modern and technical nature.
