Country : Sweden
Release : Carving A Crimson Career
Year : 1999
Genre : Heavy Metal
File Type : mp3 320
Info:
The Swedish band is, like Children of Bodom (sans keyboards), essentially taking a Maiden and Priest-inspired traditional metal sound and speeding it up and adding ferociously growled vocals. The melodies and lyrics are old school metal, but the aggression factor is squarely in melodic death territory. It's a good combination, and the band pulls of the sound really well. Standouts include the fierce epic "King of My Kind" and the anthem "Heavy Metal Kid," but there really isn't a weak moment on this album.
Obviously, Brimstone is going to appeal most to fans of Children of Bodom, Norther, Skyfire and the like, but it should go over well with most fans of melodic death metal as well as open-minded traditional metal fans. Unfortunately, Carving a Crimson Career was the band's only release.
