BENEDICTION - The Grand Leveller CD

The Grand Leveller is very much the type of album you'll appreciate heavily if you are particularly really into the "old school", mid-paced, and less produced style of death metal. It also shines within the context of the UKDM scene, but even there it is partially overlooked despite its influence and the quality of its songs. Eerie, foreboding, and unnerving with its overtone, and generally more deranged, decrepit, and uncouth than Bolt Thrower's contemplative approach - all of which makes Benediction's musical personality unique in death metal. Recommended companion pieces for The Grand Leveller that seem to match its sullen tone would be the debut albums of Wombbath and Morta Skuld.
