4 out of 5 stars Foray into pure metal.......2004-02-18

This album is TEHC's first full album plunging purely into metal. Very hard and grinding, this album falls more into the traditional black metal genre as opposed to the Industrial that TEHC has been previously known for. While many songs are skillfully crafted such as Bishop's Folly, it seems as if TEHC had an ax to grind with being called Industrial. (And as noted by things I've read.) However, as a metal album in itself, is very solid.

I personally don't believe this album matches up to what TEHC could have produced, and I think Electronomicon comes out the stronger of the two of TEHC's more metal albums. I believe they learned from Witness the Millenium. Even so, a very good black metal album.

1 out of 5 stars Buy Burn Baby Burn Instead!.......2002-01-25

This is the worst EHC release! The recording is grainy and unbalanced. Gone, is the ironic lyrics and the sense of humor that make EHC stand out from the rest of the "Evil" bands. Save your money or buy Burn Baby Burn!

3 out of 5 stars No more Mr. Nice Satanist........2001-07-25

"Witness.." was a far cry from what I was expecting of EHC's latest release. That said, it was still pretty good but suffers from poor production due to the shoddy conditions of Venom's personal recording studio. Even Rev. Thorne complained of the archaic equipment which, as I understand it, is one of many mounting problems which has led to the current rift between EHC and Venom. What that means to the listener is that it is hard to find an acceptable listening balance on this CD. I usually turn the treble down a little so that the bass is just slightly higher. This will cut down a little bit on the tinny quality.

On the upside, it is a more raw direction which may please those with a predilection more towards the oldschool days of black metal. It is however completely lacking any sense of irony that most fans of the EHC have come to expect from them. This is the most serious I've ever know them to be, even more so than the darkly malevolent "Kiss the Goat" release.

On the whole, "Witness the Millenium" is not a bad effort, especially for a CD whose slated release was postponed almost a full year. To fully appreciate where they're going with this new sound my advice would be to start at the beginning with "Burn,Baby,Burn" and work your way up.

5 out of 5 stars I think it's their best.......2001-03-16

I've not been a fan of EHC for long, but I like this one the best. It's very modern, cutting edge, that not too many are doing. Agree with them or not, it is utterly fascinating from the masters of Satanic rock. It's a bit cartoonish at times, and even funny. My favorite is One Dark Horse. Deny Christ lunatic and liar- that's awesome.
