Album Review
Ragnar of Ravensfjord
Reviewed 2007-01-15
Brutal fast death metal. While the “sweaty, hellish mantatee” on vocals often detracts from the songs. Still, the band is what saves this album. Rather intense playing, blasting drums, some nice breaks and tight riffs. Overall it’s like a mix of Cannibal Corpse, Incantation and a little bit of Morbid Angel.


(((1))) Dense, hammering riffs a garbage diposal vocals. Gets a little too repetitive at times.
((((2)))) Good spirialing riffs, really deep vocals, and some pretty nice blasting & riffs parts.
(3) Mostly slow and annoying like Cannibal Corpse at their absolute worst.
((((4)))) Pretty nice fast death metal even with little varation in the vocals. Lots of good riffs that save this from being “just another death metal song”.
(((5)))) Overall a little bland but filled with some good thick riffing ‘ala Morbid Angel.
(((6))) Fast torrents of beats, surprisingly more varation in the vocals (albeit slight, this IS brutal death metal we’re talking about).
(((7))) Really basic, generic but amusing ultra-fast DM. Good natural drum sound. A sound unlike say, Deeds of Flesh who use those “woodpecker” blast beats.
((8)) Slow & dull DM, really stripped down and really tedious.
(((9))) More fast stuff with some well-done drumming and odd-metered riffs.
(10) Slow and pointless guitar outro.
