Well, this could have gone very wrong, couldn’t it ?
A ’supergroup’ of sorts, Swedish death and black metal stalwarts from such metal icons as
Entombed,
Dark Funeral and Grave, come together to put out a ‘proper’ old school Swedish death metal album.
You can almost hear the critics rampaging to the front of the pit, ready to storm the stage and yell ‘nay’ to this idea.
Well hold on a second, because this is rather special. The
Entombed/Grave sound comes through straight away, and
Vicious Art put most of their effort into writing solid death metal tunes that are straightforward in their structure and yet supremely brutal. The black metal fury of
Dark Funeral is also thrown into the mix, and creates a death/black hybrid that creates a solid foundation for the album. Tombstone Grind, the album opener, is an absolute stormer of a track and it goes to show that if you want top quality death metal, you can always rely on the old guard. You don’t necessarily need to go to the new deathcore squadrons for proper heaviness.
Pick Up This Sick Child is a great slab of old school death metal that doesn’t require too much brainpower, only neck power to properly bang your head to. Sick or not, you should definitely pick this bad boy up if you like your death brutal, straightforward and classic !
