Those who wait for
something good... Chicago natives Forest Of Impaled have been rather quiet
since they released their debut full-length album "Demonvoid" back in 1999.
Still on the Red Stream label they have finally been able to produce a worthy
follow-up named "Forward The Spears". It all begins with the powerful title
track which immediately set the pace for what is a 40 minutes long journey
through the darklands where only death resides. It is intense and extreme but
Forest Of Impaled manage to perform their own mix of black and death metal
with a nice touch of stylish riffing and display a good amount of song writing
skills. Having been active since 1994 they have become a tight terror squad to
be reckoned with and this shows on their new album. They know how to create a
dark and brooding atmosphere which is very important when it comes to this
kind of music. The vocalist has a pretty strong black metal voice but I am not
that fond of the few spoken sections. Forest Of Impaled doesn't exactly
strike me as an amazing band with the ambition to create something new but
their old-fashioned extreme metal does appeal to me. The album is very dynamic
and never becomes excessively boring or monotonous. Perhaps the production
could have been done better but that is not everything. An album for those of
you who think old-school is the only real
thing.
