Blessed are the Sick

Much slower and with better songs (in my opinion) then before! Altars of Madness are a very good album also (I haven’t heard it enough to be able to give it a fair review) but I think this is better. The music fits M.A. better then the faster earlier or the newer stuff. The songs are apart from the speed not much different from before. I love this album and ranks it as their one best and a classic in the D.M. genre. David Vincent’s vocals who I might add are naturally as dark is one of the best ever, pure eventhough growling. There are 4 intros/outros and 9 songs too enjoy, several great ones.

Covenant

Nice cover but in all a disappointing album. It’s a bit faster then ”Blessed…” but nothing in comparison to their earlier stuff. The material has not the same high quality as usual so it tend to get boring in the long run. Only the last song ”God of Emptiness” is a rememberable track. Also the keyboard work on ”Nar Mattaru” is great stuff.
Rated




Domination

Oh no! What have they done?!! I didn’t buy this album because I though the vocals sucked (David’s great vocals has been industrialized!) and I didn’t think that the material was any good either. I won’t rate it because I haven’t heard it enoug, but I know many of you loves this album so it can be worth checking out.
