[jk had fun reviewing a non-existent band. It's funny. He also sent the cover, which we gladly publish Ed.]

Put aside the more well-known bands, the clowns like Slipknot, the sellouts Cradle of Filth... (meaning they HAVE sold out!!!!) and come with me to the dark Norwegian forests, where the singer Aurasethy's voice is a blade in the darkness... no keyboards or anything like that, just devastating bass-guitar-drums, with an unprecedented triple pedal that will put your eardrums to the test.
The riffs are such that compared to them, Pantera are softies, the lyrics range between infernal-possessed and suicidal-maniac, but never veer into the pathetic.
The cover, well... speaks for itself.

But it's not violence for violence's sake, these guys have enviable technique but unfortunately (for their pockets) they will never fall into the mainstream: worth noting at the beginning of the splendid "I've Eaten My Dog Alive" is the intro with the flight of the bumblebee performed at a speed that even that fool Petrucci...

A must-have like a jewel, at all costs, whatever it takes. Amen.
