Nocturnal Rites - Afterlife (2000)

Nocturnal Rites' fourth album, and their first with new vocalist Jonny Lindqvist (replacing Anders Zackrisson) is their grimmest, focusing, pretty much, on death, with such song titles as "Wake Up Dead", "Hell And Back", "Sacrifice", "Temple Of The Dead" and "Hellenium".  It's also their weakest, with not a lot of memorable material. This Swedish band has always been kind of rudimentary but, at the same time, fairly enjoyable. But here they have not been able to grab me, with just moments of interest with the likes of "Hell And Back" and "Temple Of The Dead."
