Mcd from Astriaal (AUS). Not much to say. Three tracks, one being a rather dour outro, and one being a cover version of Key To the Gate. The first song is the only actuall Astriaal material here, and it carries on in their traditional melodic style, found most prominently on their newer Mcd. I can't help but draw influence to Setherial and Sorhin, as Astriaal, like the afore mentioned, focuses predominantly on the usage of primitive bruality, while at the same time, a striong base of melody and emotion to punctuate their music. While not altogether uninteresting, we all know this style has been raped and raped again. Do we really need another Swedish clone??
