Born in the filth of 1994, Order Of The Ebon Hand has been a cult force for decades, obsessively carving out a legacy of archetypal black metal. These Greeks don't just vomit out riffs; they build massive, esoteric monuments based on the Tarot. After dragging us through "A Mystic Path To The Netherworld", "XV: The Devil", and "VII: The Chariot", they finally returned to claim their throne. This band, so unique, the Emperor of Greece, criminally underrated deserves way more respect than the mainstream bottom-feeders usually get. Also they are my favorite Greek black metal band, and being objective is a little bit hard although they don’t need it coz everything they released to date is beyond common sense.

"XI: Justice" is a massive, seventy-minute monster that destroys everything in its path. Forget the weak, short records everyone else is putting out; this is an entire trek through spiritual warfare and the outer planes. This isn't just music; it’s a channeled transmission from entities beyond the veil. Merkaal’s vocals and bass lead a total assault, while Obsidian, Asmodeus, and Deimos create a wall of sound that challenges every pathetic idea of right and wrong you’ve ever had. It’s an entirely different beast that proves these guys are operating on a level most bands can’t even imagine.

The production on this thing is lethal. Recorded at Marble Mountain Music and handled by Victor Santura, the sound is thick, dark, and hostile. Songs like "Eryn" and "Gorgon" are just the weapons you fear. The band takes huge pride in this exhausting work, and they should. This is how black metal is supposed to sound in this century, raw, inspired by the gods, and completely possessed by dark matter. When you hit the "Justice" sequences at the end, you realize you've been through a fucking war.

It’s another masterpiece. Order Of The Ebon Hand doesn't follow rules. They’ve delivered a terrifying, necessary adjustment to the scene. If you can’t handle seventy minutes of spiritual violence and demonic channeling, go listen to something safe. For the rest of us, this is the law. It’s a 1000-copy limited strike that will leave the underground stained. Pure, unfiltered Greek excellence that proves Justice is finally being fulfilled.
