The Forsaken struck
the whole metal community with surprise as they released their debut album
"Manifest Of Hate" on Century Media last year. Now the Swedes are back again
with their second output and just like its predecessor it is full of raging
intensity from start to end. The Forsaken have mixed the brutality of US death
metal bands with a very high level of technicality and intelligent song
writing that we know from bands like Slayer, At The Gates and The Haunted.
There are no real hit songs on this album as there were on the debut but on
the other hand the overall quality is just as high as it was then. The only
track that I am not too fond of is "Dethroned" where they sound a little too
much like Morbid Angel, a sound not really suited for them. Sweden has brought
the world several new big names in extreme metal the last five or so years
like The Haunted, Soilwork, Darkane and The Forsaken. What is strange about
these bands is that the three last mentioned are all from around the town of
Helsingborg which is in the south of Sweden. In fact I couldn't care less
about where The Forsaken is from. The only thing that matters to me is that
they have yet again proved their place in the elite of today's extreme metal.
If you want a nice energy rush without any illegal activities involved I would
definitely recommend this release and also the debut album from the band, two
of the most exciting releases in Swedish metal so far in the 21st century.
Well done, guys.
