SLAUGHTER MESSIAH - Cursed To The Pyre (CD)

"Cursed to the Pyre" keeps grinding and ploughing, crawling and
pummeling in all the right places yet never swerving one inch from, as John
summarily names it, "pure and uncompromising metal of death." Having
said that, the quartet is set to "conquer the world and kick more ass," as
bassist and singer Lord Sabathan puts it.
It is for this very reason that besides relatively straightforward outings that
evoke images of a stirred hive of angry hornets, the record offers acutely
atmospheric and almost progressive moments, the kind of which make
seven-minute epic 'Hideous Affliction.'
