Their music sounds like great fun live! If DIABOLICAL can deliver the energy on stage they’re capable of on CD, I’m definitely looking forward to their tour with AMON AMARTH in April / May 2002."A Thousand Deaths" reveals that the band is really working on an identity of their own although it still sounds typically swedish. Less SLAYER-influenced than THE HAUNTED, for example. DIABOLICAL are excellent musicians and their songs really have drive. Highly aggressive singer and a varied song writing. Maybe too varied as the songs are not really catchy. They’re still miles away from being killer tracks like THE HAUNTED or DEW-SCENTED released lately. Still, I believe there is even more to expect from the band as this new CD is already a lot better than its predecessor "Synergy", so watch out for DIABOLICAL! http://come.to/diabolical
