Hey, whaddaya know? It's an American band playing Swedish melodic death metal with hardcore accents! Sorry, I couldn't help myself, but talk about a style that's been embraced by U.S. metal musicians from east to west and north to south!

Plague Angel
Following an uncharacteristically long wait (since 2002's "World Funeral") and the addition of new vocalist Mortuus (do you suppose he gets MORTIIS's fan mail delivered to him sometimes?),MARDUK roar out of the gate on "Plague Angel" like they've got something to prove.

In the Wake of Separation
Let's get the hype out of the way first. THINE EYES BLEED includes Tom Araya's brother, Johnny, on bass guitar. I'm happy for the PR and label folks that have an immediate selling point based on the surname, but it's pretty meaningless beyond that. Sure, there's plenty of SLAYER-esque guitar-squawki...March 6, 2005

In the Arms of God
A blues beat and even bluesier guitar line leads into a classic COC riff stomp on "Stonebreaker". Once Pepper Keenan's vocals enter, you just know that this is the real COC. "In the Arms of God" takes much of the heaviness of "Wiseblood", even the dense feel of "Blind", while retaining some of the s...March 2, 2005

Never-Ending
It's tough for me not to consider MYSTIC PROPHECY's "Never-Ending" as a companion piece of sorts to FIREWIND's "Forged by Fire". Both came my way within the last month or two, both are quality melodic metal albums, and both feature the axe wizardry of Gus G. Both albums also happen to be the third r...February 27, 2005
