" 2nd full length from this french death machine "

" All lyrics were by murderers on Death Row facing imminent execution.....Heavy shit indeed...But what about the music?..Have no fear...This album is brutal but not in a technical way....In a heavy as fuck way!...The guitars have a very evil, dissonant tone to them and are obviously heavily distorted with a thick top end. Vocals are top notch..A growl that's a little higher in pitch than most and some shrieks also "

If this album had kick ass solos...It would have been legendary...But it still stands as a high octane piece of Brutal ,Uncompromising Death metal of the highest order !

Drowned and Rotten!.......

Get Itttt.....

Origin - Sweden
Style - Technical Death Metal


" ANATA's second attack on the scene is an utterly astounding piece of surgical, shredding, diabolical and merciless carnage. ANATA have really taken the scene by the neck and rung it something fierce as this album embodies the finest attributes of technical Death Metal and infuriated it with wrathful and homicidal brilliance "

" Blazing guitar work is highlighted by frenetic flurries of savage technical riffing, supported by punishing drum blasting. Weighing down this sonic butchery are the expected rasping death vocals executed by a guitarist who seems too impossibly busy with his amazing playing to have time to shout them. Dreams... is an album not easily ingested upon one or two listens. Its an incredibly complex clockwork opus of dizzy proportions and every listen seems to yield something new. This truly is some of the busiest Death Metal you are likely to hear this year or this decade for that matter "

This is a killer technical death metal album and should not be missed........


Upon The Throne !.........Got It?
Get It!

Hollenthon - With Vilest of Worms To Dwell (2001)

1. Y Draig Goch
2. Woe to the Defeated
3. Lords of Bedlam
4. To Kingdom Come
5. The Calm Before the Storm
6. Fire Upon the Blade
7. Conquest Demise
8. Conspirator

Origin - Austria

Genre - Symphonic/Melodic Death Metal

" Aaah it's nice to hear something original agin in this time where everything in metal has been done a million times before. Hollenthon is of course the band led by Pungent Stench's frontman Martin Schirenc, and in this band the death metal is much more melodic and slower and filled with choirs, keyboards and other instruments. It reminds maybe of Therion's "Theli" but still a bit more death metal oriented. I think this album is as good as the previous album in terms of originality but that with its better songwriting and production it's one of the best albums of 2001 easily "

Epic Fucking Metal !...........Get It!
