I have the first three albums of this German band, and have quite liked them, but have been put off by Chris Boltendahl's throaty, growly lyrics, which almost seem to be a parody. This is their first album in seven years and, if the title doesn't make it obvious, it's about death.
Lots of death.
I don't get into Satanism and stuff with music (or anything else), which is why I don't collect Slayer, and lost interest in Exodus after BONDED IN BLOOD, but when it's rather comic book in style, like it is here, I don't mind too much. The music is fast, but not terribly imaginative. And yet there is some amusing fun to be had here, which is why I give it three stars.
