For those who want a little old Soilwork with your new Soilwork, look no further than this second record from Speed Strid’s vicious side dish, Terror 2000.
They take the Gothenburg sound and kick up the technicality level, add some keyboard swells, and obviously know the right influences to wear on their sleeves.
18 tracks, maxing out at just over 70 minutes of metal, most sub-genres represented. Groove-oriented nü metal allows the indulgence of black/Goth/dark metal.
Quality is high, unknowns Mystic Force and Psycho Scream doing well, bigshots like Deceased and Memory Garden get the nod. Soilwork whip “Egypt” into a frenzy.
