 | | With this in mind Circle Of Snakes at first seems a tad underwhelming, with its simplistic riffs, clinical bare bones production and embarrassing song-titles, but it does improve with repeated exposure, even if it doesn’t quite measure up to his illustrious past. |
 | | Sure the intro is the usual throwaway fodder and “Skincarver” was probably best left on the cutting room floor, but when the title track arrives things click, essentially dragging the spirit of the early albums kicking and screaming into the new age of downtuned belligerence. |
 | | As expected, Circle Of Snakes does very little to resolve the enigma at hand, drawing no real tangible line between man and myth, offering precious little insight, firmly holding onto its little dark secrets as if its very lifeblood depended on it. |
