Look for a few twists in the tale this time, King Diamond, for his 11th solo album adding occasional female vocals (Livia Zita), more guitar soloing, and a DVD.
Tried-and-true yet shrieky and fatiguing screechy production, a re-use of alien themes, that caustic caw, and those almost doomy tower of power chords.
Their first two were filled to the brim with sonically-perfect, brutally-satisfying slabs of deathblasts. Believe it: The Negation is the best one yet.
Under a whitewash of a noise, grind, and indie rock-based hardcore – no doubt possessed by Fugazi and Unsane – comes an unrelenting and out-of-control outfit.
Gorecore done by the originators. Gorerotted love Carcass and The Ravenous but apparently also learned a thing or two about syncopated vocals from Deicide.
Gone Forever is a plush, hi-fidelity feat of modern metal, epic often despite short tracks (and a short running time of 41 minutes), high art born from strife.
It’s pretty entertaining and covers a ton of live shows between 1996 and 2001. All the shows (except for a bonus feature) were recorded on home video recorders.
