    • 1996 August 9, Richard Stuart, “Review of Demonic Christ - "Punishment For Ignorance"”, in alt.music.black-metal‎ (Usenet):
      My favourite songs here are "We Have Risen," which is a short three-minuter with a catchy riff, and the brilliantly titled "I Am Lord," which is quite memorable and has a simple riff which I'm sure is similar to a Katatonia song or something.
