ENTOMBED / MORNING STAR
Swedish Metalers Entombed have been around since '87 which is a long time in Metal and with this new release they will continue as this is a very good album.
Their sound is heavier than it has been for quite a while and the opening track "Chief Rebel Angel" kicks the album off to a fine start and starts off with a cheeky pastiche of the self titled track by Black Sabbath, with the tolling bell replaced by a heartbeat and the opening chords sounding not too dissimilar. Don't let anyone say that they don't have a sense of humour, nice one guys but that's where the similarities end. Following tracks "Eye For AN Eye" and "Bringer Of Light" are full on Metal and are Entombed firing on all cylinders.
Those of you who have followed Entombed form the Left Hand Solution days or earlier will love this album as it really is a return to great form, there is even a nod to the old days when they were called Nihilist with the track "Yong Man Nihilist", I don't think this is just a coincidence, or is it, I will have to ask them, if I get the chance.
Overall another great album from Entombed, stand out tracks, "Chief Rebel Angel", "Ensamble Of The Restless" which thunders along at a terrific pace, "Fractures" and "Mental Twin" which thunders along like an unstoppable Metal Monster.
