MORBID SAINT - Swallowed By Hell CD

To conclude, it is great to see Morbid Saint back on track. You can forget all about those 30 years that flew by since the release of their latest (unofficially) full-length titled Destruction System. They can still destroy the place and take you on a thrilling, adrenaline-fueled, extreme thrash ride. Of course, a band like Morbid Saint, who released one of the most devastating, obliterating, violent, bloodthirsty, shattering albums in their respective genre, they are in a difficult situation when releasing a new album. Expectations are through the roof, and people expect this to be a direct sequel to Spectrum of Death, both in quality and the sound itself. Yeah, right. If you truly understand that debut, you know that that level of diabolical intrinsically possessed, sickeningly twisted, hellishly blasphemous obliteration could only unfold once in history. Therefore, it is ridiculous to expect anything close to that album. However, in general, this is an excellent release, and it shows that the guys took this comeback seriously. No fillers are to be found, and the production sounds perfect. I hope this is not the last time we hear from them.
