Hmm, what to think of this album. I expected music in the style of Entombed and Dismember, but that is gone for a big part. This Swedish band started all the way back in 1992 and after a period of silence they re-united in 2005. This is already their fourth release since then.

They sound a lot less extreme and unfortunately the low sawing riffs are gone. What remain are more mainstream songs, which are all rather predictable and safe. And if there is one band that I have to mention here, it has to be Amon Amarth. This album sounds like them, but is less exciting if you ask me.

For me personally a disappointing album, but if you are into Amon Amarth, you can check this album out.
