Retro-Speed Metal Goodness!

Review Score: (8/10)
Very interesting album... Retro-speed metal indeed. This is something like a mix of Speed, Trash and Black metal. Proscriptor's high-pitched vocals on this album really surprised me first time i heard them. They are too much for some people, but i like 'em. But i admit they do sound a bit comical at times. I believe there aren't many vocalists you can compare his shrieking to, but sometimes his screams remind me about King Diamond. Shaftiel does the lower vocals as always, and they both make a very fine job on both vocals and their instruments. The songs are great, and one of them ("Morbid Scream") is actually a cover of Morbid Scream, a former Texan Black/Death Metal band from the ?80s, that has greatly influenced Absu (and gave Absu the rights for everything they ever made).
