Comecon
Megatrends In Brutality
[Century Media]


This album smokes!!! I was a big fan of L-G Petrov's vocals and when I heard he was doing 'em for Comecon, my interest was peaked. He hung out with these dudes on his brief hiatus from Entombed. I was totally chuffed when I heard the heavy, thrashy euro-death metal that accompanied his fine vocals. The riffs are huge man, sledgehammer to the side of the head huge!!! I love almost thrashy approach to the way they were played. A fast and loose and less down-tuned Entombed is a good way to describe the music. There are some totally brilliant moments on this album with the songs having a socio-political edge to 'em. That sounds scary but trust me they're totally cool and immensely heavy. 'Wash Away The Filth', 'Conductor Of Ashes' and 'Good Boy Benito' deliver the goods, man.
