DISMEMBER

Release Year: 2000
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: aggressive straightforward intense death metal

on their fifth full-length Swedish death metal stalwarts continue to develop a massive campaign for the time-tested revival of intensity and rigor, started on their previous album: they nail it with eleven honest, dynamic and straightforward cuts that last just thirty three minutes in total, turning back toward their early days, while the accumulated experience allows them to refine music to the maximum, giving loyal fans exactly what they love most, not limiting the direction to just crushing riffs, intense rhythmics or Kärkki's signature vocals, also enriching the tracks with trademark harmonies, which have always been an essential part of Dismember identity; this is one of those devastating records whose impact and musical weight only grow stronger as more time passes, while Sharlee D'Angelo [Arch Enemy, Mercyful Fate] performs all bass parts as session musician; authentic German first press edition
