BLOOD MORTIZED “Bestial”

BLOOD MORTIZED
“Bestial”
(Chaos Records)
Being a Swede I feel a certain pride and joy whenever I come upon a new record by a Swedish band. Especially when a band comes along that makes me think of the Swedish death metal scene of the late 80s/early 90s. A very vibrant and interesting time. Blood Mortized makes me think of early Entombed, Grave and Unleashed all meshed together as one. It’s not all nostalgia. Had there not been anything new to add this would have been just a trip down a very joyful memory’s lane. But still in 2012 there is something to the old school Swedish death metal that make sparks fly and emotions run wild. “Bestial” might only be 4 tracks long, and that is not enough, but as an appetizer this works wonders. It raises my appetite for more. Can Blood Mortized take this further we could be in for a really good full length album. Anders Ekdahl
