This reunion is somewhat weird. The Dutch death metallers never got what they deserve as one of Europe’s finest acts. Funny thing is also the fact that all fans who know more bands than the number of their fingers say only the best for their four albums from 1988 to 1993. Today they come back after 15 years with the guitarists Mameli / Uterwijk joined by the great bass guitarist Tony Choy (Atheist, Cynic) and drummer Peter Wildoer (from personal favourites Darkane).

The band still remains artistic in its new, fifth effort. They have more brutal elements in rhythm (blast beats their previous drummer couldn’t afford) and their enormous production. All members are in great shape and perform tight and strong like they ‘ve just started! In addition, tracks such as “Devouring Frenzy”, “Hate Suicide”, “Horror Detox” that the band let slowly appear through myspace are very well samples of what they are doing. A CD that turns the light for hope in a world full of monotonous acts.

Again, the sad thing is that we’d rather have new bands to show the way or create new ones in the narrow limits of today’s music. But why do youngsters complain about these limits when their predecessors return to break them again? If you can think of knowledge to avoid similarities and composing ability that comes from their established character combined with performing freshness (that possibly comes from a magic fountain???) than you have “Resurrection Macabre”. Blow up your stereo with no fear!
