A true gem and one of the finest metal albums of the 90s, no doubt., June 15, 2006
This review is from: Weave the Apocalypse (Audio CD)
I won't mince words here for as you can see from the other reviews, this album doesn't mess around. It goes for the throat and takes no hostages. Sure it's over 10 years old, but it has aged like a fine wine. The production is very solid, perhaps a bit rough around the edges, but all in all tough as nails and clear like glass. These guys come from Denmark but play a unique brand of heavy metal. It's definitely not death metal, nor is it thrash, but it does have its moments of the latter. It groves like Pantera, has Jazz interludes a la Atheist, is technical like Death, and hits as hard as Morbid Angel. It is really a shame that this album is so difficult to find because it deserves to be recognized with any of the best, be it Carcass, At The Gates, Morbid Angel, etc. If you should happen upon this little piece of magic when you're out hounding the used bins, PICK THIS UP. The rad Dan Seagrave art will give it away.

Some of the best METAL!, January 21, 2011
This review is from: Weave the Apocalypse (Audio CD)
This is Progressive Death/Thrash that is one of the better Metal albums of the '90's! With some stupendous riffs, it's slow and heavy musically with tough shouts, almost hardcore vocals. Buy this, as I did for 60 bucks, it's worth every penny!

Machine Head/Pantera gone ultra technical and brutal!, January 20, 2006
This review is from: Weave the Apocalypse (Audio CD)
I guess this would be considered "groove" thrash than traditional speed/mosh/bay area/german thrash. Its kinda in a class of its own. Vocals remind me of Machine Head/Pantera but musically its original. Ultra technical and aggressive this is mid-paced thrash that will satisfy any thrash head. These guys know their instruments and music theory very well. I'd even say hints of Meshugga as well (ie - crazy rhythms). Hard to find CD but worth the extra dough to obtain. Very rare. This was one of the most underated bands of 1993 that's for sure. They should have gotten better promotion but what can ya do.
