So...a Swedish death metal supergroup...with Mikael Adkerfeldt on vocals...wow, must buy.

I wasn't too aware of these guys I'm afaid, but when I became noticed of their existence...I was like, "Cool, shud be interesting," and I was thrilled to find this album in my local HMV.

So, is it any good.

Yes, it's not perfect, but to be honest, out of all the modern death metal tripe...this is a breath of fresh air.

Mikaels vocals are the real attraction. I always thought he has the most distinctive and amazing vocals in death metal, and he does sound like Satan at most times.

Musically, their are black metal and groove metal moments, but it's pure death metal at heart, and is a push forward in the extreme movement.

1. At The Behest Of Their Death - Amazing riffage. The pure epitome of evil. Vocals are just spewing forth bile and vomit in this song. 10/10

2. Process Of Disillumintation - Slightly More melodic. Great lyrics. 8/10

3. Slaughtering The Will To Live - Some killer grooves and kick ass riffs. 8/10

4. Mock The Cross - Classic death metal at its best. Great chorus. 10/10

5. Treasonous - The arrangement and flow of this song is just amazing. 9/10

6. Iesous - Interesing arrangement. Weirdly catchy at times. 9/10

7. Drink From The Cup Of Heresy - Very dark and disturbing...loving it haha. 9/10

8. Devouring The Feeble - The riffs are quite head crushing. 8/10

9. Earthrot - Great lyrics and amazing vocals. 9/10

10. Hades Rising - Quite Gojira like riffs at times. Great chorus and ending. 10/10

11. Wretched Human Mirror - Great ending. Fast, furious and evil 9/10

CONCLUSION: If you want great death metal...I reccomend these guys.
