Read carefully cabrones! This is NOT the wimpy German CREMATORY, this is the real bad ass CREMATORY from Sweden and a hell of a talented band to anybody you ask. Perhaps, I have been longing for this CD more than what I did for the old shit compilations of NIHILIST, DISMEMBER, NIRVANA 2002 or similar back-in-time trips to the glorious era of the European Death Metal. Apparently the first pressing of this album got screwed up by the pressing plant and completely ruined the audio quality of most of the songs. Luckily enough what I’m holding here is supposedly the “fixed” version that got released in order to correct the previous defective version. I think these recordings were intended to be filthy back in the day when the were spawned so I won’t have something to criticize on that matter. As a matter of fact that is simply the charm of it all! This is probably the most evil, disturbing and utterly gloomy Metal of Death you will ever get to listen. From start to end this a fest of gut-wrenching tuned-down brutality with songs that can be easily put side by side with the aforementioned bands and if CREMATORY have had the right chances they would have gotten really big in the early 90s underground scene. This band had among their ranks current / former members of pretty famous Swedish acts like NECROPHOBIC, NASUM, AFFLICTED and GENERAL SURGERY so if you are curious where all these deranged bastards came from you have to get a copy of this CD damn fast (it features everything these guys have ever recorded – the three demos “The Exordium” – 1990, “Wrath From The Unknown” – 1991 and “Netherworlds Of The Mind” – 1992, the “Denial” mini LP and ‘Mortal Torment’, a one song promo from 1989 – Frank). It should be available from the label at www.necroharmonic.com. More info and sound samples at: www.myspace.com/crematoryswe
