User Album Review
"Crypts of the Unrotten" bruises and batters with Stockholm forcefulness, but does so with a character all its own; all the while keeping you nodding right along with memorable Gothenburg-derived songwriting that stops well short of the slickness that plagued the scene in later years.
The difference-maker with "Crypts of the Unrotten" is the manner in which the album sets a high standard right from the start, and not just on the first proper track ("Alone with the Dead"), but with a minute-and-a-half instrumental intro — of all things — called "Descent into Another World". You can count two-minute instrumental "Devouring Obscurity" among the tracks that exist at that same high altitude. A bum track is nowhere to be found. And when the unholy trinity of "Enter the Gates", "Calcined Bones", and "Catacombs" arrives the impact can be likened to that of a freakishly large, nuclear powered jackhammer. "But it's not very original, is it?" comes a question from the peanut gallery. "But who really gives a shit when it's this good?" comes the answer from those that refuse to think so damn hard about it.
These days there just aren't that many bands putting out albums of this sort that kick your ass from one end of the experience to the other and keep you crawling back for more. Unmitigated violence is grand; unmitigated violence with catchy songwriting is just goddamned exquisite.
