Screams Of Anguish - This album is one
of the many classic, yet unknown albums of the stream
of early 90's death metal and it is one that
absolutely deserves to be known. There are many things
that can be said about it but the best thing to call
it is a 100%, scary, evi, pulverizing, apocalyptic,
devastating, earth-rumbling, heavy, brutal death
metal masterpiece but with other awesome elements
making it the masterpiece that it is.
First, you have death metal songs that almost create
the feeling of almost being caught up in something
like a cataclysmic or an "end of the world" event
because everything sounds so catastrophic, eerie and
doomy but the songs also have solos, melodies, awesome
musical passages as well as the potential and the
incredible death metal musicianship which puts this
band up there along with the other elite bands of
death metal. Another thing that makes this album so
special is that there are those instrumentals. The
first one is called Sympathy which sounds like
something out of a Conan: The Barbarian movie because
it has a classical music feel to it. The next one is
called Spirit World which sounds like a soundscape
type song that makes the listener feel like he's
drifting in the spiritual world. Very relaxing. So all
in all, get this album and prepare to be crushed,
seriously.
Choice cuts: These Walls Shall Be Your Grave,
Ceremonial Unearthing, Sympathy, Crushed, Cries Of The
Forsaken, Cryptorium and Spawned Illusion
Malevolent Creation has been one of the heaviest, most brutal death metal bands on the planet and when you listen to this album, you will agree, seriously. All I can say is have a custom-made body suite and helmet on, have only a sterio and go to an opened field or wasteland for that matter where there's nothng around because all hell is going to break loose.
