In the year 2000, amidst an era not particularly favorable to doom and death metal, Asphyx released "On the Wings of Inferno." With a new vocalist, Wannes Gubbels, stepping into Martin van Drunen's shoes, many doubted the band's future. Surprisingly, the album proved exceptional. Gubbels delivered agonizing howls akin to van Drunen, while Eric Daniels' riffs, though seemingly straightforward, possessed a barbaric charm, echoing Hellhammer/Celtic Frost and Obituary.
