WATCH THIS:
Really fun early Swedish death metal album that is overlooked by a lot of people. I didn't truly appreciate it until I saw Hypocrisy perform a few tracks from this in concert, the unison guitar single note riffery at loud volume really sold it.
What can you say about this one? . . . . The vocals are recorded better than on Penetralia. Sorta.
This is where the band found their style. Very sparse album but has some really awesome songs in a style that was perfected a few years later, but this album serves as more than just as a fun band history moment.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS this album rules my face six ways from Sunday. One of my all time favorites, this is like a collection of perfect guitar riffs thrown together in excellent order. BUY OR DIE
Every song is great, the only thing that is wrong with this album is the consistency between tracks, it has always played like a greatest hits collection (albeit a very well put together one). A Coming Race is the best thing the band ever did, very much a highpoint in metal.
One of the finer melodic death metal albums I've heard, its charm has waned a little throughout the years but it's still quite good. Pretty god damn amazing guitar solos, and includes death metal ballads that aren't gay. Very catchy, but not poppy.
Hated by a lot of people, this was what happens when a band gets coked up and spends a week in the studio rediscovering their brutal 19 year old death head roots. Pretty fun, but doesn't really sound like Hypocrisy in a lot of ways.
No.
Basically a typical return to form album that succeeds in sounding like the good ol' days, but fails in that it has no soul. Decent, but nothing special.
I've only listened to this one a few times and need to purchase it. Reminded me of Into the Abyss but better. The glory days are gone, but who cares?
