END OF ALL The Art of Decadence CD

The second full length album from this dark Swedish crustcore band totally lays to waste their previous LP with these twelve lengthy new tracks. Musically this is thickly-layered guitar-blazing hardcore punk, built over a galloping d-beat tempo (yet with interesting variations) and crowned with desperately angry vocals. For those who need a more spelled-out reference; there are strong hints of WOLFBRIGADE (from which they share a member), MASSMORD, and TRAGEDY in their sound. The lyrics are predominantly in English, cover a lot of ground subject-wise and come from a pain-filled and desperate perspective. The recording is expertly handled at Hobo Records in Jönköping and has massive sound. From the epic intro Age of the Serpents, to the finale Sista Vilan, this album truly delivers the goods!
