"Though the title may suggest otherwise, what you definitely won't hear is a monotonous doom metal sound. Instead, it's practically the same as any other BLS album, but certainly delivers the goods to those who expect them. There are the usual mellow, relaxed acoustic-led songs ("Angel of Mercy", "Scars" and the first half of closer "Shades of Gray"), solid, groovy and slow-burning rockers ("Fields of Unforgiveness", "My dying Time" and "I've gone away") and one or two speedy, heavy anthems which do nothing but show off Wylde's penchant for the heaviest guitar tone there is to offer ("Damn the flood" and "Empty Promises")".
Something else!

"Catacombs of the Black Vatican didn't have the immediate impact on me that Order of the Black did, but that could also have something to do with the situation. It's a whole lot easier to impress when your last album was a mediocre effort than when it was one of your best. I've warmed up to the record more and more with each listen, though. It delivers everything you want from Wylde - screamingly heavy tracks with meaty guitar riffs and ripping leads, interspersed with a few quieter, more reflective moments. It also adds a few slightly new wrinkles, though nothing revolutionary. BLS fans will be pleased".
