A Deleted Symphony For the Beaten Down

Relapse

Nothing but utterly abusive extreme metal. What makes it a GREAT utterly abusive extreme metal album is guitar excellence, blast beat excellence, and superhuman vocals. And the song titles: “An Addict’s Lover,” “Thought of a Genius” (man, someone’s got great riffs!), “Daydreaming the Color of Blood,” “Last One in the Noose.” But nothing can top to brutality of “She Cheated on You Twice.” It is my belief that the fellows have issues, yet they handle them well on this fine album.
