Entrails - Rise of the Reaper

http://www.secret-face.com/
#FOR FANS OF: Swedish Death Metal, early Entombed
I do not see why this release got such poor feedback! To me, it's at least a "B" rating. The Swedish sound is definitely there. I like the music, the riffs are well put together. Not as good as previous releases, but it is still good these guys are making music. I'd say that their previous albums are better, but this one is still good. And the vocals are quality. A well put-together and constructed album. I don't think that they really need to change much on here, maybe a little bit less on some synthesizers, though it is here in just a modicum of play on here. The tempos aren't extremely fast, but definitely good riffs here and there.

The main guitars are killer, not too many leads but some. That doesn't take away from the fact that the band is still solid. It's not a boring album, this release is filled with some good music. I'd say it's a good follow-up, but not the strongest that it could be. If they used less lead and focused more on the main guitars, I think it'd be stronger. But it is still balls out with precision. Most of the tracks on here I could tolerate, just not so much at the end. But as a whole album, it's totally a "B" rating. It just lacks the intensity like on older albums. But there are blast beasts just the intensity isn't as full throttle like previous albums.

Swedish death metal bands are all unique to me in the fact that the pedal they use to get the proper sound is rather unique. On here, it is used in a lesser degree. It is still there, the sound but not as apparent. You can tell they are Swedish based but I just would like to make the distinction that they're changing it up a little bit. All the songs on here are worthy of praise, just not towards the end (as explained). Just the fury isn't so much here, it's a milder album. But they're still death metal oriented and they didn't changed their style like Entombed did. That band, now 'Entombed AD' totally changed and it's disgusting.

I found this album at a local record store and thought it'd be good to show support for the band especially since I collect CD's. And own a CD player not like a lot of my friends. I would say to buy the physical copy, but pretty much all metalheads are doing the digitally based gig. If you have a CD player, buy this show that you're still supporting the scene or if you don't want the CD, Bandcamp I'm sure has digital downloads if you'd like to hear this album. It's a good release, I cannot stress that enough! It's not their greatest album, but it's still worth getting. Don't listen to the naysayers about this one, it's quality! (Death8699)
