Demonic Resurrection, got an emotional connection with this band, they were the first ever indian metal band that i heard while beginning my sojourn to this colossal world of Metal. They are now relatively the veterans of indian metal scene, and with their brand of insane metal, termed aptly as "demonic metal" by Sahil Demonstealer Makhija, they have never disappointed with any of their records, and with their current offering, they have just stepped up a notch.The band has been undergoing constant line-up changes since last couple of years and have finally settled with a great group of musicians, highly proficient at wielding their respective gears. I must admit, i was really skeptical of Daniel, the first time i saw him play, and if my memory serves me right it was at resurrection VIII at that shitty Borivali venue, but how well has he come along, he has completely owned this record, and i can't forget people going ape shit over his soloing at Resurrection XI.
Getting down to the record itself, the box set itself is piece of art with a rich glossy touch to it and an equally brilliant art work done by Michal "Xaay" Loranc.This drooling factor on this record doesn't stop there, all the above-mentioned are just the peripherals to what the record actually contains and it is no less brilliant. The album opens with "Between infinity and oblivion"which has some excellent work by Mephisto on keys, it truly gives you the epic feel for something truly great is about to happen. "Where dreams and darkness unite" is one of my favorite tracks on the album, and it carries the mood perfectly with some kickass death growls by Sahil and Viru pounding away on drums with equivocal ferocity. 
The most striking part of this record is the world class production that your ears are subjected to, the sound is extremely clear and profound. The unrenlenting surge of vengence is another of my favorite tracks, it gets extremely heavy with its sudden breaks and no sane person can stop himself from bobbing their heads up and down to this one.

It is very difficult to categorize this record into any specific genre, because you are having so much on your plate, there is kamelot styled power metal, then death/ thrash riffs, black metal styled blast beating. This is truly an epic, aptly demonstrated by "Lord of pestilence", with its beginning uncannily reminding me of Frozen Portrait, it goes on for a sheer length of eleven and half minutes but it never gives you a feeling that it is getting monotonous or just skip over to the next track, it is a masterclass composition, with its dynamic nature, it keeps you hooked on. Anyways being an avid listener of black metal, you somehow get used to such track lengths. "Omega, I" ends this masterpiece and a perfect ending at that.
A new warrior has risen from ashes to take over the fucking world, one festival at a time :) Inferno and Brutal Assault beckons DR, and no other Indian band could have been chosen to demonstrate the prosperity and musicianship of Indian Metal Scene (apart from Kryptos, of course) better than DR.
A must must listen for coming of age of Indian metal.
