Dark Millennium
Ashore The Celestial Burden
[Massacre]


This is an album by a German melodic death metal band... And before you go thinking that it's completely mindless copying of the Gothenburg sound, let me start by telling you that this is an album from 1992, long before that Gothenburg sound had become popular, in fact this was quite atypical of it's time period, actually at the time of it's conception this was highly original. Just a look at the cover picture should tell you that this was not the typical death metal band, seeing how they used a quite abstract (or maybe surrealistic would be the fitting term?) image for it. As said this is melodic death metal but at that far more death metal then what a band such as In Flames is delivering today, and by far better then In Flames has ever been in my opinion, or most of the now so popular Gothenburg type death metal bands. This is surely worth acquiring.
