The fourth full length by Swedish progressive death metal band, Pantokrator.
First off, the album is HEAVY....like HEAVY, HEAVY.
There's a "blackened death metal" feel to the vocals, with appropriate distortion. There's even some clean vocals, and personally I like it when extreme metal bands include actual singing.
Track two features a guitar solo from CJ Grimmark of Narnia.
Track three features a guitar solo from Jani Stefanović.
The title track starts out with a "middle eastern folk music" sound and runs into a slow melodic death/doom sound, reminiscent of bands like
My Dying Bride and The Foreshadowing.
The final track features guest vocals from Mund of the black metal band, Skald In Veum. The song is wonderfully blackened, which I saw coming, but I still wasn't prepared for how awesome it was.
I give the album 5 stars.
