Praise the Fallen

SPV

Here’s another band I hadn’t heard until that super Septic compilation came along. This is another definite, definite must-have disc. Recommended to the nth degree. It is grand and pulsating, triumphant and throbbing with energy, yet seductive, with hypnotically smooth vocals. This is music to march off into bloody battle and die in nasty ways to. This is going to be an awfully short review, because it leaves one without much to say since there’s no breath to be had after listening to Praise the Fallen . It’s similar to Covenant, just to give a basis, but much more majestic and powerful, a whirlwind of wonderful sound. It seethes with raw tension.
