Most who know of this band, have heard only two albums by them: “Flesh Power Dominion” and “My Passion Your Pain”. I have not heard “Passion”, but I think “Flesh” is very enjoyable, very memorable melodic death. This 2-cd set comprises their early material, which is 2 full albums, mcd and demo stuff. The sound quality is surprisingly good. The quality of the songs is good, too. The vocals are pretty guttural\/traditional death, but the addition of melody via the guitar is what makes the big contrast. I didn’t realize this band has this type of history and so much good unreleased material. Definitely a band for fans of melodic death [without the hardcore influences].<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
