Eh, very average imo. Misic was actually quite good, if slightly recycled. Some solid BDM sounding riffs and strong power/NWOBHM melodies. The vocals ruined everything though. They were not objectively bad, just so powery (not my thing).

In case it wasn’t obvious from the cover, band name, and album name… this is totally cheesy power/traditional metal. Despite what should be a laughably terrible output, the band manages to deliver a pretty damn good album. The reason Jewel of the Vile avoids burning in its own terrible cheese is that there is a prominent occult/black metal sound that really sets it apart and makes it a pretty great release. This is accentuated by some cool guitar solos and a solid percussive backing. The vocalist, too, avoids the high-pitched pitfalls of many of his peers by sticking to a slightly lower register accentuated by occasional death growls, but in the end he is still a power metal vocalist; for better or worse.
