Lord Belial
has long been one of the leading Swedish black metal bands and now they have
released their fourth full-length album, appropriately entitled
"Angelgrinder". I would have loved to see something new from this band since
they have been around for ten years by now but instead they stick to the same
old formula of fast to mid-paced Swedish black metal with their characteristic
melodies. Unfortunately this doesn't impress me that much any longer since I
have heard this so many times before. Luckily Lord Belial have collected a
fair deal of musical knowledge since they started out and this results in yet
another high quality black metal release. The only thing that I don't like
that much about this album is that there are too many slower passages which
doesn't really fit the Lord Belial sound. I would be a lot happier if they
would have included a little more speed, rage and melody as on the amazing
fourth track "Burn The Kingdom Of Christ" which sounds a little like Dark
Funeral in their prime. Perhaps they don't want to play that fast all the
time but if not they have to find some way to make it sound interesting. A
quality release that should please fans of Swedish black
metal.
