the shape-shifting god of trickery, ever sly Loki is known as deceiver of the gods in Norse mythology, this time serving Swedish melodic death metal giants, using its image for their ninth studio longplay [2013]: it would be hard to blame Swedes a casual approach to the concept, and this serves in strengthening the effect created by music; a very solid ten track record on delivery clearly takes the essential elements of their intense yet harmonious character, featuring aggressive guitar playing, pounding rhythmics, memorable refrains and hooks, still not abandoning the peculiar thunderous atmosphere full of pathos, thus refining the most important aspects of this dynamic and expressive genre; recent black 180g vinyl edition comes with a pro-printed lyric insert and two-sided poster
