Free Music Notes for The Fathomless Mastery
Free Music Review: The side project turns legit...
Hit: 5 Stars
As with many people I was sucked into the world of Bloodbath on their second full-legnth album Nightmares Made Flesh. One spin of the classic uber-catchy death anthem Eaten will make a believer of anyone. This is billed as an all-star side project recalling the early days of the Swedish Death Metal scene. Indeed, the debut e.p. and follow up album are terrific and capture the classic Sunlight Sound. However what may have begun as a novelty of sorts has recently taken on new life as the sound is more forward thinking and menacing. 2008 saw Bloodbath release a live cd/dvd set of their first ever live performance, a limited e.p. Unblessing the Purity, and this full-length album. It was a great year. This album makes the listener almost forget the original acts these musicians made their careers playing in. All things considered this is the ultimate release in the modern era of Swedish Death Metal. Now, as with all Bloodbath releases, one must check their inhibitions at the door. The release of The Fathomless Mastery and moreover the merch which accompanied it caused a lot of listeners to react negatively. Most notably would be the single and shirt for Mock the Cross. It is a mid-tempo stomper much akin to Eaten. What people took objection to was the imagery on the shirt. Let's just say that it featured a crucifixion scene, demon, serpents, vomit, the whole 9. The shirt was deemed so innapropriate that the company printing it refused to issue a second run after the first sold out. The shirt is now available through another company. It would seem that those insulted by this have not been paying attention to the previous releases from Bloodbath. Just take a look at the song titles and you get the idea. At the core of this is a deeply brutal and seriously talented group of musicians who are intentionally looking to be as offensive as possible. Therefore Bloodbath is not for everyone. I am a fan for life. I have the luxury of first of all not being Christian (nor am I a Satanist) and secondly having a sense of humor. It all depends on the mindset of the individual listening to this band as to whether they can stomach the lyrical content or not. This is not to say Bloodbath are the most extreme of death metal bands. I think they are just more well-known at this point and people think they know what to expect from Mikael Akerfeldt from his stellar career with Opeth. Well kiddies the man is capable of summoning the darkest of imagery with his vocals in Bloodbath. All in all this is a classic release from an incredible band. Five stars.
The Fathomless Mastery Poster
The Fathomless Mastery, is the third full length album by the Swedish Death Metal band Bloodbath. It is their first full length release to feature the new guitarist Per 'Sodomizer' Eriksson on its 11 new tracks. Former Scar Symmetry vocalist Christian ?lvestam did guest vocals on track 6, "Iesous." The album generally revolves around anti-Christian themes, the last few songs detailing an apocalyptic event resulting in Hell on Earth. `Bloodbath have been responsible for some of the finest Swedish Death Metal of the last decade.' per Metal Hammer. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for the glory days of Death Metal, the band's line up has changed and evolved throughout the years, featuring the elite of Swedish Metal. The next chapter of this brutal saga arrives on with the release of the 2008 studio album, The Fathomless Mastery. Hints of what the album may possess were provided by Unblessing The Purity, the mini-album released earlier this year on Peaceville Records. Described by Metal Hammer as `a near-flawless celebration of Swedish brutality'.Hard Rock & Metal Music CDs
