This album called ’Heaven for the Insane’ from Cardiac Arrest is funny enough an album that I kinda dig when played as background music. But when I start paying attention to this release I remember almost nothing from it (except for a few riffs) when the last note has faded away.

Sound and style wise we are talking death metal here with all the right trademarks; Growls, even angry and screaming vocals, fast and brutal riffs and runs and fast drumming. But I miss something. I miss that certain WOW-feeling. Every song is almost in the same pace and at the same level.

And last we have the production which is too “dry” and powerless in my opinion. Especially the drums sound horrible at times. But I do not have the real CD in my possession... sadly only mp.3 files... so maybe that’s the reason why?

Fans of death metal should give it listen before they buy.
