UMUR
"There Is Light (But It's Not For Me)" is the 10th full-length studio album by Danish death metal act Illdisposed. The album was released through Massacre Records in April 2011.

The music on the album is groove oriented death metal with plenty of melody. It´s not as such melodeath, but there are quite a few similarities between the music on this album and that genre. In addition to the heavy and mostly mid-paced death metal attack which is excecuted in a convincing way, the music also features synths and synth effects. Those elements provide the music with a contemporary sound that will probably appeal to those who enjoy their death metal with synth heavy edge. Bo Summer´s are deep and brutal but occasionally he also screams highter pitched notes. The latter style is not as prominent on "There Is Light (But It's Not For Me)" as it has been on some of the preceeding albums.

Illdisposed is a band that is impossible for me not to like. It´s not that the last couple of albums, including this one, have been revelations, but they are all professionally produced, well played and well composed. Most importantly though there is a brutal and groovy charm about the band´s core sound that just greatly appeals to me. I could have done without the synths which I personally find distracting and a bit generic, but I´m sure that´s an aquired taste, so I´ll try not to be too harsh with my rating because of that. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
