"Black Christmas" is composed of 9 tracks, with a total playing time of a bit more than half an hour. The music is definitely based on Black Metal, old-school, raw Black Metal, but there are a lot of influences from old-school Death Metal also, and that's why I've labeled it Black Death. They (the band and label) say it's 100% Black Metal, but I don't agree, the American Old-School Death Metal influences are multiple. Passing over that the music is really good, very aggressive, brutal at times and served with a deep darkened and sinister atmosphere. The short melodic, semi-acoustic insertions are some very good additions also, and the general impression after listening to this album is quite favourable, if you're into '90's aggressive, raw Black Death Metal and you care more about the music than the sound quality, you'll pretty much enjoy this release as I did, everything sounds organic here, even the drum-machine, usually I'm bothered by its sound, but not here".

"Geboten bekommt man schnörkellosen, geradlinigen sowie russischsprachigen Black Metal der zumeist schnell und hämmernd eingespielt wurde. Diese schnellen Passagen und Lieder sind zumeist recht energisch, da das Schlagzeugspiel sehr erbarmungslos und heftig eingeprügelt wurde. Zudem ist Lycanthropys Gesang stark verzerrt, wodurch er die Eindringlichkeit massiv verstärkt. Mir gefällt der Gesang gut, da er trotz der heftigen Verzerrtheit natürlich und organisch klingt.
Auf Black Christmas wird aber nicht nur blind drauf los geprügelt. Es gibt immer wieder langsame Zwischenpassagen, die riffbetont und kraftvoll sind oder Strecken mit Klargitarre oder Geräuschen, wie etwa Mündungsfeuer. Vereinzelt agiert Lycanthropy auch sehr technisch, trocken und abstrakt. Allerdings nicht so massiv und vertrackt wie Lucifugum, welche mit einem nachgespielten Lied von Lycanthropy gewürdigt werden. Zwar weiß ich nicht von welchem Album das Cover entstammt, allerdings gefällt mir die Version von Lycanthropy verdammt gut. Sie ist bissig, harsch und riffbetont."
