The Dark Epic...
Rating
Style: Thrash/Death Metal
Release date: 25 February, 2011
Playing time: 48:19
 

The band formed by former The Crown member Johan Lindstrand is back with their 4th album. Unfortunately I always liked The Crown better than the One Man Army. That will not change with this 4th album. Again OMAatUQ made a good album, but it never surprises.

There is no doubt about the musicianship of the members, they know how to handle their instruments and the mix of thrash with Swedish death metal is nice to listen to, but... There is nothing new, no adventure, no fantasy, no challenge. The music is too modest, too average and the songs and tempo of the songs do not differ enough. Songs like "The Zombie Syndrome" and "Devils Harlot" are nice thrash hammers and I'm sure there are enough metal fans that will enjoy this record like their daily bread. Fans of OMAatUQ will be very happy with this new release and they will probably will find me an ant-fucker. Stagnation is decline and that seems to be the problem with this 4th record.
