V.O.D’s first full length album for Morbid Records. Recorded at Academy Studios in Yorkshire (a favourite of bands like Cradle Of Filth, Solstice, Paradise Lost, My Dying Bride and Anathema). Engineered by Mags, this album culminated the band’s blood, sweat and tears to that point during a freezing English winter. The legendary album’s tracks include: Bloedrivier, Doom, A Beast Is Born, Funeral, Vir Zoë, Religion, If I Had A Soul Part III, J.M.S.P., Goodbye, Ring Of Brodgar, and Needledive. It also featured a hidden track of Welcome To South Africaaargh!!! and the live version of March Of The VOD, taken from the Live ’93 video). The initial cover print had a typo, with J.M.S.P. and Goodbye switched around.

The cover art was of a Norman Catherine painting entitled Blood River. The album was followed by an extensive European Tour covering everywhere from the Czech Republic and Slovakia to France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, UK, Ireland & more.
