BLOODBATH

Style: intense crushing ominous death metal

looks like chemistry inside this super band has been very [un]healthy since the previous album, and regardless that Joakim Karlsson was late at a party joining cemetery guard mafia for writing the current longplay, the heroes of essential death sound have caught the distracted muse, which has opened their eyes and showed further way to move on - you would not even dare think how exceptionally smart experts in death metal Paradise Lost, Katatonia and Craft musicians are, but one track to check is fully enough to make sure of that, where a perfect cover art and poetically morbid lyrics massively strengthen the impression, [dis]tastefully conveying the essence of the genre, so yes, it must be stated - on this opus we witness the most convincing episode of Swedish death in a decade or so!; British digipak edition
