4.0 out of 5 stars Like being beaten over the head with a weight!, June 7, 2006

This review is from: The God That Never Was (Audio CD)

"The God That Never Was," which is the seventh album by the Swedish death metal band Dismember, is a mind numbing, ear drum punishing assault. Vocalist Matti Karki spits and barks with a raw throated voice over driving, steamrolling rhythms which are composed of walls of monstrous, propulsive riffs which sound more like a lawn mower than a guitar, and quick, skillful, walloping drumming. Aside from the occasional, unexpectedly melodic guitar solo (e.g. in "Time Heals Nothing") to break up the monotony, this disc is a friggin' amelodic, harmony-deficient, 35-minute monster! The only flaw it has is that every song plows along at about the same speed, but this disc is also about as fast and brutal as you'll find in music nowadays, so all is forgiven. The album opens with the title track, which is one of many scorchers to come. This song bristles with roaring guitars and slamming blast beats, and is topped off by a pick slide and two careening solos. Other highlights include the almost deafening fifth song ("Never Forget, Never Forgive"), "Phantoms (Of The Oath)", which is an instrumental with a churning rhythm and buzzsaw riffs, the thunderous, rapid-fire "Blood For Paradise," and the pounding, grinding tenth track ("Feel The Darkness"). So, "The God That Never Was" may be more ugly than a stripped turkey carcass, but if you like death metal and/or are sick of melody, you should think it's also as satisfying as Thanksgiving dinner.

This review is from: The God That Never Was (Audio CD)

Death Metal or Hate Campaign. This album is much better than Where Iron Crosses grow. Lot faster, more melody, Lyrics are dark and depressing as hell. Songs are structured better than WICG. Almost all the songs are fast and have plenty of tremelo picking. Phantoms of the Oath is an amazing Instrumental that has excellent melodies all the way through and what crazy is the best song is the very last one Where No Ghost Is Holy!!!!!! This song has their most catchy melody and riffs since Collection By Blood or Patrol 17. Its so fast and catchy. Its amazing these guys can keep coming up with these kinda riffs after all these years.Buy this NOW!! Along with the New Kataklysm
