GOREMENT



Now I know where Bloodbath blatantly got their logo from...

The band in question here is yet another Swedish death metal band ca. early/mid Nineties is GOREMENT. I recently ordered their discography CD compilation, Darkness of the Dead, from a label which will remain unknown and as I'm listening to the disc now, this really is just "another Swedish death metal band." However, there is some darkness emitted from the sludge-like riffs and some nice, melancholic melodies (not unlike Finland's Convulse and early Amorphis). Gorement doesn't rely too heavily on speed, as most of the songs are mid-paced, but there are short bursts of blasts and the like. Overall, a varied album and filled with darkness.

This may not blow your mind, but it's a nice addition to your collection and worth a listen or two. This is especially critical if you claim to be into Swedish death metal. Just sayin'.
