Apostasy, The - Behemoth

Advantages: Raw mindblasting sound, again.
Disadvantages: Absolutely nothing.

...Behemoth are a polish trio who create sounds like no other band I've ever heard before. The album has some progressive influences in songs where the structures and arrangements change frequently, "Sculpting The Throne Ov Seth", "The Nephilim Rising" and "The Reign Ov Shemsu-Hor" are all rugged with lovely acoustic parts, hyper blasting rhythms (drummer Inferno must have 8-10 arms to be able to pull off such insane beats and fills) and brain busting bass routes, recent albums from DEICIDE and MORBID ANGEL sound like touchy, fragile Death Metal with no hair left on the chest compared with this blissful CD. Resistance is useless my friends, the band does everything right, the slithery brutal riffing and gross vocal orgies are perfectly balanced with creative solos and catchy lead melodies, the music hangs on the last line that stands...

Advantages: Just listen!
Disadvantages: Could maybe be a little longer? Only 30-ish minutes long.

...-heartedness of an average Irish folk band, and the stage presence of a heavyed-up Led Zeppelin with more energy! The album opens with an incredibly catchy harmonic riff at the beginning of "Apostasy", a brutal, yet meaningful, and somewhat balanced beginning to the MPC adventure. It then continues though, chucking out old favourites, such as "Human" and "Cult", alongside new favourites such as "Quick Fix" and "Food For Worm", and previously-unheard tracks, like "Jimmy Maypole" and "Tender Folk Song". They even managed to bring back a brand new recording of "Packaged Rebellion", which hasn't been heard since the demo was taken off their website back in 2004. It could just be me, but the atmosphere changes slightly in "Requiard"; an epic song with poetic lyrics that just make you think, but it's everything but a negative input to the experience.

Advantages: U2's self-professed first backslidden LP
Disadvantages: quite incoherent at times (even backwards)

.... To consider it as a follow up song to their marvellous classic tune “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, it suits fine, and a worthy one at that. 3) WIRE Not an equivocally great tune to “Trip Through Your Wires” which appeared on THE JOSHUA TREE album, this song which is quite passé with it’s melodical delivery, sucks… I mean, it speaks in its lyrics of either forgetting about the faith and wind to turn deliberately to carnality instead, or staying affixed to a certain right track while discarding someone else’s opinions whatsoever. One of such among those backsliding faith songs, like THE CHAMELEONS’ “Tears”, speaking of apostasy in its truest and most appetizingly appealing contextual context. Also check out fellow Irish band’s CRANBERRIES’ number of songs, mainly “Just My Imagination” and “Promises” ~you’d get the idea, plus CHEAP TRICK's "Downed... Read review
