Mortification really changed with this one. They went from death metal to groove metal, with Primitive Ryhthem Machine as the waypoint between. For those who are really into Mortification's older, hardcore death metal stuff, you may want to barrow this one first. It took me a little while to get used to it, but it really is good. So if you're into groove metal too, this one's a winner.

This album foreshadowed the coming changes that were to take place with Mortification. Blood World marked the band's morph of death/grind to a mix of death/thrash and a sort of groove metal. Blood World contains probably some of the fastest drumming Mortification has experienced. The double kick factor is outrageous! The guitars are still very heavy, but lack the punchy grind that was very prevelant in previous albums. The lyrics, as always, are very thought provoking and full of hope.

El Kabong gives it four head bangs.

I am a big fan of Mortification, so "Blood World" was a bit of a fizzer with no real substance to it. That said, it is not a "bad" CD, just not Mortification's best, by a long shot.

A couple of tracks, such as "Symbiosis", (which makes a great wedding song, seriously), are quite good. However, without Rowe's deathy grind, the CD generally comes of as a poor cross betweem death and hardcore. Much of the impact that Mortification's earlier work has is missing from this CD.

Unless you are a hardline fan, choose carefully with this one. Listen to it before you buy it. It will appeal to some, but definitely not to those who have gotten used to the earlier, grindier music.

O.k. here's the poo.Mortification rules I've listened to everything from Immortal and dissection to boston and Zepplin,so I know metal and rock too and these guys are great!! It's DEFINITLY HEAVY,but unlike most others the lyrics are meaningful and thought provoking.If you want a good listen, mortification is always one of my favorites,the term good music is an opinion so it's subject to scrutiny,but for fans of good heavy metal you can't go wrong with these guys,besides each cd is different so there's something for everyone, this one happens to be death/thrash metal style.But anyway enough rambling check it out.For the record I only meant to give this album 2 or 3 stars because the first four are amazing but this one's only o.k.

I rate this as their best album so did a magazine who gave this 13 of 13 stars.
I got all records by mortification.
you got the first 3 albums mortification/scrolls and post mometary wich are death metal.
but by blood world style changes into groove/trash metal

this albums sounds like rythm machine in the style but alot heavier.
Lots of drums and heavy sound. instead of growling it's screaming.
diffenitly one of their better releases.
