I liked Blood Mortized’s “Bestial” EP quite a bit. I’m a huge fan of the late 80s/early 90s Swedish death metal sound not only because I was there when it happened but because the music that came out of that period is so brutal and raw even to this day. So when I got word that Blood Mortized had an album coming I pretty much wetted myself in anticipation. Could this be even better than the EP? Would they outdo themselves this time around. And to my surprise this is so bloody good that I feel like I’m back listening to the latest demo tape by bands like Entombed or Dismember. This is so bloody good that I almost can’t find the words to describe how good it is. This is Swedish death metal the way it should be done. Not that I have anything against In Flames or Dark Tranquillity but this is Swedish death metal at its core. Anders Ekdahl
