Metal evolves, and we're left with the
consequences. I write this review with a mouth
full of salt water (seriously) so I can
accurately convey the mood of the album. If I
swallow the water I'll puke, and these songs make
me feel similar -- in a good way. The darkest
riffs lay beneath posthaste blast beats and words
like "cloak the earth with a thousand nights and
billion dead". Sounds like this Swedish band is
talking about George W. Bush again.
"World
Funeral" is empoisoned -- impregnated with
venom, which could make it more than you can
handle -- and it goes well with the news on, the
sound on the telly down, and this in it's place.
