Released in February 1998 in USA & Canada and April 1998 in UK & Germany.
This album provided a great new sound for the band. It was also the first release to include a live drummer (Rat Scabies) which added a new power and edge to the music. Songs like "Witching Hour" and "Ascension" kick major arse and provide the world of Gothic Rock with a few new melodical classics.
