The Bloodline is the incarnation of Nattefrost (Carpathian Forest) on vocals, Sasrof (Diabolicum) on Guitars, keys and programming, Set (Aborym) on guitar, Nysrok Infernalien (Aborym) on keys and programming and Nigris on bass. From the beginning samples to the first crunch of guitar chords on the first track, it is obvious that each member has brought elements of their other bands to the table on which this group dwells. One of the most important aspects of this album is the foggy and dark atmosphere, which is captured. "Werewolf Training" has a definite feeling that stays true to early black metal but with the assistance of eerie samples and effects the album maintains an overall modern sound. Another key factor is the diversity of the Bloodline's sound. Harsh and devoted lyrics are broken up with overtones of melodic guitar and keyboards while never walking off the cyrptic path that each of the tracks follows. An added bonus are the last two excerpts; one of which recites William Blake and the other, "New Sodom" which is mostly an instrumental track composed in a way that leads to an almost trance inducing effect. "Werewolf Training" is one of the most genius recordings of it's kind and this album remains to be seen as a "Classic", maintaining a seat next to other pieces of work such as; "In the Nightside Eclipse", "Transylvanian Hunger", "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" and "Under the Sign of the Black Mark".
