Still blazing in the underground, the long-running Swedish black/death metallers under the name Mordant continue to utilize the work on their country?s history and heritage in making this one of the most ferocious yet melodic albums in the scene. From the outset, the band manages to employ a quite adept and profound usage of old-school death and black metal into this one that?s incredibly appealing. As the vast majority of the tracks showcase, there?s quite a heavy usage of ferocious, brimstone-accented tremolo riffing that tracks through the fiery tempos and thrash-like energies commonly utilized which makes for some ripping, energetic efforts. The dirty thrashing style here comes across quite nicely with the album?s solid shifts into more traditionally-picked tremolo lead-work and straightforward rhythms that tackle the stylistic energies from the death metal scene. Powerful, enjoyable, neckbreaking!
