The Funeral Album
Well, the poor bastards finally went and did it. No veiled threats and no pathetic cries for attention, just a recognition that SENTENCED had run its musical course. I'll miss those wonderfully morbid lyrics and the chilly, hook-laden hard rock and metal of the Finnish suicide kings. As much as "The...April 22, 2005

Annihilation of the Wicked
When Karl Sanders said "be prepared to be crushed" in reference to "Annihilation of the Wicked", he was not exaggerating. I'd venture to say that this is the heaviest NILE album to date, perhaps in part due to Neil Kernon's outstanding (as usual) production, one that brings out the sheer brutality a...March 27, 2005

Descent into Chaos
If you can set aside your AT THE GATES worship for just a moment, you'll be able to recognize NIGHTRAGE's "Descent into Chaos" for what it really is: Dependable Swedish melodic death metal. Don't get starry-eyed over the fact that it's Gus G who is laying down the meaty guitar parts and solos or tha...March 20, 2005

Never-Ending
It's tough for me not to consider MYSTIC PROPHECY's "Never-Ending" as a companion piece of sorts to FIREWIND's "Forged by Fire". Both came my way within the last month or two, both are quality melodic metal albums, and both feature the axe wizardry of Gus G. Both albums also happen to be the third r...February 27, 2005
