Purgatory’s third cd. As I more or less only have experience with his band on a live level, I can’t really talk about their previous work. This cd contains nine tracks of fierce Death Metal. The songs sound good. They contain some good parts and the variation of riffs and speeds also sounds pretty good.
Purgatory uses a good combination of blastbeats and mid-tempo speeds that were quite regular within Death <etal around the beginning of the nineties (e.g. Suffocation). They use some sort of diabolical-sounding intermezzo on this album, entitled: ‘March Of The Eminent Beast’, which immediately functions for the brutal continuation of the album. Good riffing, sick vocals and tight play, although sometimes the double-bass shoots off track a bit.
It all ain’t very original, but actually ‘Blessed with Flames of Hate’ does sounds pretty ok to me, musically! Only thing is… the sound ain’t good. It should have been heavier, more brutal and clearer. The drums (especially the bassdrum) are too much on the background, and the guitar sound isn’t sharp enough, to name some. This would have made the album a lot better then that it’s now.
Too bad, really.
