Debut album from this German outfit. Revel in Flesh play an
old school Swedish death metal that, had this album dropped in 1994, would have
been heralded as a game changer. In 2012 however, this falls into the
"just another Swedish death metal" release. That being said, those
who simply dismiss albums such as this for being "just another" miss
out on an excellent slab of melodic death metal the way it was meant to be
played. The guitars have an obvious ode to Dismemeber or Fleshcrawl while the
overall melodies offer everything a good head banging should be about. Is it
obvious OSDM worship? Sure. Is that a problem? Not from this fan's view point.
Fans of Old School Entombed, Dismemeber and Fleshcrawl should be all over this.
Highlights: “Black Paled Energy”, “Culpa et Inferna”,
“Shadowbreeder - Until Hell Freezes Over”, “Iron Coffin”
Rating: 3.5
