Hails to Finland. Sweden is over rated. YES I said it. Let us not forget Sweden is responsible for both Slaughter of The Soul AND Wolverine Blues, the two biggest poxes on death metal forever after. While many of the Finland mighty did fall to the Death ‘n Roll curse, I can’t hold them responsible for the bad idea that Entombed started. So many Finnish bands go overlooked from the dawn of the death metal craze, well I hope to at least set a few people on the right path.
Belial (who by the way did unfortunately go death ‘n roll eventually), had a great little run for a couple years with a demo, a 7″ and a mlp. That 7″, “Gods Of The Pit Part II” was one of the first releases on the at the time newly minted Moribund label. Things bust out with a completely savage guitar charge on the opening track The Invocation and never let up. The old Finnish bands had a certain atmosphere that the Swedish ones never quite matched. Along with Belial, the early releases by bands like Disgrace, Necropsy, Abhorrence, and a lot more were able to bring a sort of mystical sombre feel to their metal. It makes me feel almost the same way some of the early Norwegian black metal does, although sound-wise it’s completely death metal. Swedish bands also seemed to often have some melodic underpinnings whereas more often than not Finnish bands of the same era were just dealing in full on brutality. Absolutely forgotten classic this one is.
I like Finnish death metal a great deal–so I thought!– but I’ve never heard of any of the bands you’ve mentioned:
Disgrace, Necropsy, Abhorrence…
Please discuss/ compare with the Finnish DM bands we know and love: (early) Amorphis, Demigod, Demilich, Adramelech.
I think Nuclear War Now reissued this in a few different versions (picture disc, black) a couple years back…
good God…what a record…i had various copies of this on black vinyl over the years, and always had a hard time trading it for a $5-dollar record…i dont give a fukk about metal anymore, but this record totally kills…even though it totally sounds like an Entombed/Nihilist clone/wanna-be, it has enough rawness up on par with Grave demos or the 1st Beherit pic disc 7″ to make it somewhat special…i think i need to dig out my ancient tape of the promo for this in the very near future…
I still spin this on a regular basis. I hadn’t heard “Never Again” until recently. I thought it was a pretty apt title. Not feeling that one at all. “Wisdom of Darkness” is great though. The absolute worst finish record I own is Convulse “Reflections”. As great as it sounds on paper Ned’s Atomic Dustbin with death metal vox is NOT a good idea.
