that's right, i suddenly woke up one day with this thing lying around and i had low hopes at first, didn't know much about it and feared it was some uninspired stuff. but HELL NO, this is actually very very good, it defies genres, should be enough here to please both black and death metal fans, and also the whole sound of the album AND production is VERY untypically German. Great!!! Their sound definately leans over to the abyssic occult feel, just so you know.
got a text message from Sindre (obliteration/nekromantheon) some weeks ago that one of the guys from Swallowed had given him a couple of cassettes, one for me too. Sindre said the tape was awesome, and little did i know that it was in fact more awesome and dirty that i could imagine! Here we have some intense and VERY o.t.t. speed metal thrash with some us power feel to it as well, they certainly have their own sound, but to try to discribe it, it's a bit like the whiplash demos, a touch of exciter heavy metal maniac and...maybe some FANTOM WARIOR demo vibes as well. Very intense speed metal, not like typical early 80s scandinavian beautiful speed metal at all, this is metal as HELL and very intense. but what am i writing this for when you can hear it yourself?
I don´t usually come here (or anywhere really) saying to listen to this or that band BUT... these guys... i really think you like it!
