Art of Extermination

I was not quite sure what to think of DEVAST's "Art of Extermination" upon the first few spins of the disc.

Swedish "superstar" death metallers BLOODBATH have been the critical darlings of extreme metal for quite some time now, even more so since the release of the "Unblessing the Purity" EP and the "The Wacken Carnage" CD/DVD.

Shogun

Far be it from me to defend the likes of a band who has achieved such a high level of success by doing little more than filtering the highlights of METALLICA's career into a watered-down glass of Kool-Aid for the metalcore kids to slurp down like they were rockin' it in Jonestown. On top of ...
