Bloodbath
Breeding Death
[Century Media]


Mike Akerfeldt (Opeth), Dan Swano (Edge of Sanity/various other bands), Jonas Renske (Katatonia), and Anders Nystrom's (Katatonia) noble attempt to make an old school, brutal death album with good results.

However, these four death/prog masters (whose music sometimes borders on pop) have a very difficult time making an all out minimalistic death album.

Although 3 songs long (15 min), it is a very worthy album, but not as brutal and simple as the band would have you believe.

Standout track: Furnace Funeral

Grade for those too lazy or illiterate to read the review: B
