Oh ! Welcome back, the full force of Mikael Akerfeldt’s death metal growl !
As much as I love the winding paths of Opeth’s magnificent progressive death metal, I always wanted that inhuman growl, almost like a hurricane wind on its longer roars, to last longer.
Luckily, Bloodbath can provide me with this !
Put together in the early 00s as a side project for Akerfeldt to create a properly old school death metal band, they released two awesome albums then split, as Opeth was to become Mikael’s main focus after ‘Resurrection Through Carnage’.
Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy did well on ‘Nightmares Made Flesh‘ but ‘Resurrection…’ was the better album. Any death metal fan worth his salt has at least one of them in the collection anyway. So, it was great news to hear that they are back and Akerfeldt is back too.
This four track EP is hopefully only a taste of what to come, but it comes across more as force fed rather than a delicate sampling. ‘Blasting the Virginborn’ comes hurtling out of the gates like a tidal wave of awesome riffs and roars, a thunderous drumming performance only adds power and Akerfeldt’s voice displays a more malevolent side to his Opeth work. The other 3 tracks are of a similar quality, with ‘Weak Aside’ highlighted by an awesome solo and ‘Mouth of Empty Praise’ ending with a choral flourish to really ensure that you don’t forget it. An excellent release, if a little short, but hopefully it will leave enough anticipation for the new studio album, hopefully released asap !!
I can’t wait…
