Cyclone Empire/Sound Pollution
Fellow Swedes FACEBREAKER are quite in fashion these days. The band members have the right DNA via bands like GRAVE, EDGE OF SANITY and SCAR SYMMETRY, and as a band they have played festivals like With Full Force, Party.San, and Summer Breeze. This is their fourth album and will the success story continue?
I really can´t tell. There is a lot of B-movie gore and even a sense of splatter humor, as always, but I think previous outings were stronger. Opener “Meat Freak” is very alright, the same goes for “Dedicated to the Flesh”, but until the strong ending of “Tomb of the Hungry Dead” I hear mainly the same track over and over. I quite like the voice of Robert “Robban” Karlsson, and guitarists Janne Ivarsson and Mika Lagrén are quite inventive but this time around with less result than in the past.
