HEAVY METAL INC.

Not many had heard of the Swedish black metal band Misteltein until the release of their crushing debut album "Rape In Rapture" last year but the band has been around since 1996. Their follow-up will be released on October 8th and then they'll head out on a European tour together with the Dutch death metal band God Dethroned and the German death/thrash hybrid Night In Gales. In other words they are moving up the ladder despite tough competition in the hierarchy of extreme metal. Their new album is very similar to the first one but it is more varied with both slower classically inspired sections and some nice metal riffs. The keyboards are still a very important component in the Misteltein machinery although it sounds a little cheap sometimes. The music of Misteltein could perhaps best be described as a mixture of Dark Funeral (speed and intensity), Dimmu Borgir (classical influences) and Cradle Of Filth (the vocal variety) but they are not playing in the same league, at least not yet. There is more to come for sure and the third chapter should be even better.

Song listing:

1. Bloodline Desires
2. Thy Kingdom Cum
3. Where Angels No More Roam...
4. Completion
5. Forsaken Emperor
6. Excruciate The Virgin Dream
7. Eye Of The Shadowden
8. Entwined
9. Ascending Through Descending

Playing time: 48.00
