Last Rites
You can say that there aren't many albums around these days that sound quite like "Last Rites", with the possible exception of those released by PLACE OF SKULLS, but you sure can't say with any seriousness that it doesn't sound like PENTAGRAM.

The Dawning of Dystopia
You won't have a clue quite what to expect after the bubbly title track intro and may think you have it figured out within the first couple of minutes of the breakdown-y Swedcore that is "We Met Destruction", but you'll still be missing the mark until you've waded in well past the buoys. That's beca...May 8, 2011
