The album begins with RETALIATION, the song played in every BC show year after year.
Released in 2011, Hope of Retaliation celebrated the bands 20 year career. The nine songs and 39 minutes feature four new studio tracks with five live versions of Black Crucifixion classics.
”The new songs on their own are long, versatile and spellbinding enough to justify the whole album. Additionally the revised live versions offer selected pieces from the band’s back catalogue – naturally with superior execution compared to the original versions.”
SOUNDI 5/2011.
“The pitch black riffs spew death in a familiar way but manage to hook one instantly. The tasty drive of the live tracks should convince even the cheapest bastards who might whine about the sparse amount of new material on the album. And on the vinyl version – that anyway is default format of the release – the divide will probably work perfectly.”
INFERNO 2/2011
“Bitten by the Long Frosts of Life grows into an amazing atmosphere, where God’s perishability is more than tangible. My only complaint is that there is not enough unheard material on the album as the good quality of the new songs creates an urge to have more. The live tracks like Serpent of Your Holy Garden sound a lot better now with their adjusted arrangements and especially Forn’s vocal output has matured like a whiskey in a barrel.”

"Hope Of Retaliation" is a successful combination of old and new. The four new tracks sound fresh and crisp, and the revised live versions are produced in a great way. You can’t celebrate a 20th anniversary in a better way than giving old and new listeners the opportunity to get to know your skills. And do that in a very fan-friendly price. On the scale from S to XXL I just have to rate this XL.”

“Black Crucifixion is now 20 years old and has progressed all the way from their debut. Since there are only four new songs on this record, does it really mean that it takes a full year for the band to write one song? Hope of Retaliation is a good album, but it should not have just four new songs and the rest filled with live songs.”
