Highly polished teen pop from Sweden! Just kidding. This is obviously extreme metal – mixing some black metal with a lot of death metal. Something in the water in the northern end of Europe must be infecting a lot of people with the extreme metal bug. I have been to Sweden, but I unfortunately did not catch it. I’m not an expert on this style of music, but I like it when it is done well, and I enjoyed this tape. It seems there are some better riffs here than you typically find in death metal. Johan and Simon were also in Crimson Moonlight at this time.
