Barathrum
Legions of Perkele
[Spinefarm]


BARATHRUM's 4th onslaught and their first on a "real" label... Since everyone reading this knows anyways that I released their first 3 CDs I'm not going to pretend. I was a bit disappointed when I heard this first and it took me a long time to figure just why. The songs are in the typical style (and "Regent of Damnation" or the title track are instant classics !) but it was lacking something. I only found the reason when I recorded this and "Saatana" to Minidisc. The mix is just too low and professional... If you record it onto MD and oversteer it the way their old stuff was you'll get the true feeling of BARATHRUM. So, after my little meddling I can enjoy this for the great album it actually is. It's just sad to see that a label takes so much influence on a band who has it's own sound....
