I purchased this album because a guy in the cd-store told me: Do you wat to hear to some brutal and fast metal? Get this!

I bought it and played it on my car... OHH my God! The first track is an introduction which is not that important, but then... MAYHEM! I mean, I like Heavy Metal to be fast, raw, brutal but yet melodic (maybe that is not going to make sense). Well, the fact is that this guys from Misteltein are insane!

Their music is violent, satanic (yes, a lot of blasphemy) and at the same time: Beautiful.

The singer screams as if he is being tortured with a knife, the guitars are just furious, and the drumming is unholy! I highly recommend this CD to those who like bands as Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir or Dark Funeral (as myself). Misteltein sounds as a mixture of those bands I just mentioned.

The only flaw is that the last 3 songs of the album are not as good as the first ones, so that is why I am giving it 4 stars.

Favorite tracks: Completition, Where angels no more roam

Here is your answer. Misteltein hail from Sweden, and have presented their debut album for us metalheads on a platter of leather and spikes. Every so often, an album impresses me to the point that I absolutely must inform my fellow blackmetallers. This debut is truly exceptional. Misteltein could possibly be considered Dimmu Borgir's little brother because they have similar writing styles (Enthrone Darkness Triumphant era). There is also some Cradle of Filth present, but without the emotional intensity...so let's say Hecate Enthroned, and maybe some Mactatus. The musicianship of Mistelstein is of the very best (what did you expect, they're from Sweden), and the production is crystal clear...

Extremely violent debut album (that's the way we like em!) from Swedens new Black Metal promise. It's a fast and melodically catchy release off of No Fashion records. It's in the same vein as Dimmu Borgir and Cradle Of Filth, yet original. Nine tracks and about 60 minutes long. Includes 'Inquisition of the Bleeding God', which you can also check out on the Nuclear Blast Soundcheck nr 20 comp. they are well worth taking a look at.
