World Funeral
The End Records/Regain Records, 2003
REVIEW BY: Jason Thornberry
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED: 04/15/2003
Metal evolves, and we're left with the consequences.
I write this review with a mouth full of salt water (seriously) so I can accurately convey the mood of the album. If I swallow the water I'll puke, and these songs make me feel similar -- in a good way. The darkest riffs lay beneath posthaste blast beats and words like "cloak the earth with a thousand nights and billion dead." Sounds like this Swedish band is talking about George W. Bush again.
World Funeral is empoisoned -- impregnated with venom, which could make it more than you can handle -- but it goes well with the news on, the sound on the telly down, and this in its place.
