Album Reviews: Melody Maker (5/27/95, p.36) - "...Scenes explode and disappear, fads catch on and then drift into oblivion, bands grow up, mature and mutate. Not Florida's finest, though...they always sound like Death....up there with 1988's LEPROSY, a gratifyingly unpleasant offering glowingly reviewed in these pages..."
Advantages: A good read Disadvantages: Part of the plot is not too convicing
...and takes both of them to his hiding place. He tortures Robert in a breathable oxygenated water tank and leaves Katherine bleeding to death. Robert finally tells him the secret and he then takes Peter with him to unlock the Ancient Mysteries and to finish the final step of his enlightenment.
Just when you think that it?s the end of our hero, the CIA arrives at Malakh?s nest and rescue Robert and Katherine. They also manage to get to the scene before Malakh could kill Peter as a sacrifice to finish his master plan. This ends tragically for Malakh but Peter is saved.

I fell in love with it immediately and thought if the rest of the new album was half as good I would be a very happy bunny. The day for the album's - 'Death Magnetic' - release did finally come and I purchased my copy in HMV for a lovely £9.99.

Heavy Metal
Released 12/09/2008
In my honest oppinion this is an amazing album, ive not been a fan long but i have heard all of their albums they are simply an amazing band.
When i first listened to this album i wasnt so sure how i felt but it grew on me now i listen to it quite a few times a day.
The tracks are 5 mins+
That was just your life:
For the first Track i have to say what a brilliant opening to the album, Great guitar rhythm that really gets you going...imagine being in a mosh pit with that playing :D
The end of the Line:
This one didnt get my attention straight away. I think it has one of those beats that gets me all hyped up but once it gets further into it i get kinda bored.
Broken, Beat and scarred:
I love the Start of this track it gets my feet going to...
