Dismember – Death Metal

Well, most people will probably know this band by now, right…this is already their fourth full-length album. The last album, ‘Massive Killing Capacity’, made it clear that Dismember wanted to try something different after two albums of pure and brilliant Death Metal. However, they didn’t dare to take a huge step away from that direction at the time, so that album felt a bit divided to me.

Now, though, Dismember has acknowledged their misstep and returned as one of the bands that made Death Metal great. This CD once again features excellent old Swedish Death Metal, the kind that was played extensively in the early 90s. Ah, what a shame that Entombed has now taken a more Death ‘n Roll direction; Dismember shows what Entombed would sound like if they hadn’t changed.

Ah, what rubbish I’m talking! This is simply Death Metal as it should be, and those who don’t like it can crawl six feet under before I come around. “I love the smell of napalm in the morning”!
