Morbid Tales (Remastered) - Celtic Frost

Morbid Fascination

Advantages: well-constructed, excellent mysteries, well-written, wonderful characters
Disadvantages: not the best in the series

and others who are condescendingly devout and love to catch others slacking. A lot of the description of the monestary is light-hearted, making the books a very easy and enjoyable read. A Morbid Taste for Bones is the first of the series, but not my favourite. In this book, Cadfael and some of the brothers journey to a village in Wales to retrieve the bones of a saint. Unfortunately, the villagers aren't keen on having their saint taken away and trouble brews. Then the one man most vocal in his arguements against them is found murdered. Cadfael must find the killer, prove a young Englishman innocent and help settle the matter of the saint's bones to everyone's satisfaction. This is an interesting book because you get to see a lot of the interesting monastic characters, but one of my favourite characters doesn't appear until the second book ...

Review of A Morbid Taste for Bones - Ellis Peters

Definately a must listen.

Advantages: lots of distortion, fast paced, and incorperates different subgenres of metal
Disadvantages: long, could give you a headache if you listen to it for too long

This album is the newest album by Celtic Frost, and the only one that I've heard, but I've heard songs that aren't on this album, and it's definately different. Monotheist has a a much darker and more sinister sound, whitch is a bit more common with doom metal, or gothic metal. The main thing I like about this album is the last three songs, all starting with the word "Triptych", but they're all totally different. The first one, entitled "Totengott", is definately the creepiest out of these three songs, but not the creepiest out of the album. I think that song would be "Drown In Ashes". The second one, called "Synagoga Satanae" is definately the longest song in the album, at over 14 minutes long. I think that 14 minutes is a little long, but it's worth the listening. Satyr from Satyricon takes lead vocals for a little bit in the song ...

Review of Monotheist - Celtic Frost

Morbid Angel - Domination, of death metal.

Advantages: One of the best Morbid Angel albums to date
Disadvantages: If your into death metal, there are none.

What can I say about this album. Well, to start this is from the era when Morbid Angel were one of the gods of death metal and pretty much lead the entire genre with each release. This album is from that era and as such, is a pretty much required ownership. The music production is distinct of that time in music, so plenty of space for the music to fully come out with no over the top compression. All the musicians are on top form, each part sounds like a master is playing on his instrument. I would point out some stand out tracks, but they are all pretty much awesome, but if I had to pick it would be Where the Slime Live, which is a pounding almost groove affair that has the guitars practically hitting nothing but ?the prefect set of notes?. One thing I would say is if your not used to music from that time in music, you may notice ...
