Sweden's Armagedda are back with their second album which finds the band with the same hatred and ability to write catchy Black Metal as before. The soundquality has been improved since their Final War Approaching album, and they have yet again succeeded in making a very evil sounding album. The crispness of the first album has been traded for a fuller sound on this release, but the mix can still be a bit unclear at times. Overall, the drums are tighter and the guitarwork is also improved.
They still play mid paced Black Metal with faster parts, and they have progressed somewhat in their own direction, while still maintaining the 1990ies influence. You can still hear Darkthrone in
their music, but some Immortal sounding parts have also found their way on to this album.
Among the tracks is a rerecording of the excellent "Emperor from the Eternal Dark", off of their split 7" with Woods of Infinity. Another great release from the band that gave us the aptly named Strength Through Torture 7". Get it now.
Standout tracks are "Only True Believers...", "For I Am His Slave" and "F.T.W.".
