"Into the Crypts of Blasphemy"
Pulverised Records, 2010
The band members of Interment have been part of important Swedish Death Metal acts like Centinex and Uncanny. Interment's current lineup has still members from the demo days, Guitarist/Vocalist Johan Jansson and Guitarist John Forsberg along with drummer Kennet Englund makes the Interment sound just like the early days.
Long time ago I discovered this band and immeditaly got hocked by their sound, their first demo "Where Death Will Increase" became one of my fave Swedish Death Metal stuff to listen. This band was formed back 1988 and they did just a few demos and then splited up for a long time. It was nice to know that Interment reunited again and finally had the chance to check "Into the Crypts of Blasphemy" album.
This album has re-recorded songs from their first 3 demos like "Morbid Death" which is one of my fave tracks of their first demo and "Where Death will Increase". The production sounds raw trying to give that Death Metal sound of the 90's to the drums and guitars, I think the sound its more raw than clean actually. Their style its totally into bands of their homeland like Carnage, Nirvana 2002 and Centinex, a very "Stockholm" sound. I think that they should have recorded this album at the Sunlight Studio with Tomas Skogsberg to make it the cherry on the top, having at hand such amazing producer would be the best option, let's hope next time they will take it into consideration.
The LP version has a cover song of Carnage's "Torn Apart" which is a classic into the Swedish Death Metal scene nowdays. I hope Interment don't delay to much in release a new album and deliver us another big overdose of Death Metal.
So, if the bands mentioned before don't ring any bells to you, this album is for people into bands like Bloodbath, Demonical and Dismember. Long live the Swedish Death Metal!!!
