Editorial Reviews

Originally released on Southern Lord Records back in 2001, Master of Brutality reached number 17 in the Terrorizer magazine albums of the year. Featuring a cover of Blue Oyster classic Cities on Flame, the rest of the album is drenched in typical blood-soaked murder tales of the worlds sickest serial killers unspeakable acts against mankind. Heavy s*%# from Japans true masters of doom! --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only thing in Doom Metal I like, July 26, 2004

I dislike Doom Metal. I don't enjoy it's depressive sonority.
But I love Church of Misery, especialy this album. Maybe because it sounds sometimes like a slow Death Metal or a very heavy Hard Rock.
My friends who don't like Doom Metal, enjoyed it too.
I am saying all this to explain that this album isn't only for Doom Metal fans, but for all Metalheads.
If you like Ozzy's Black Sabbath, probably you'll enjoy the songs: Killfornia, Ripping into Pieces, Megalomania and Masters of Brutality.
Green River is the worst track. You probably will jump to the next.
Cities on Flame with Rock & Roll (Blue Oyster Cult cover) is one of the best covers I had ever heard.

Not for TREND. Not for CORPORATE ATTITUDE. Not for "STONER". Only true DOOM-MURDER HEADS.
