Album Review; Behemoth - Abyssus Abyssum Invocat

Allllriiigghttyy then, for my second album review i chose to do the album i bought last, which happened to be Behemoths brand new release 'Abyssus Abyssum Invocat'.
To be fair and honest, its nothing exaclty new, for those who do not know, let met break it down for you.

Abyussus Abyssum Invocat (Top) is a re-release/reissue combo of their EP's Conjuration (Left) and Slaves Shall Serve (Right). Now Conjuration is an EP branching from the Zos Kia Cultus (Bottom Left) era (2003)
and Slaves Shall Serve EP coming from the Demigod (bottom right) era (2005).

Now, the whole purpose of the Reissue is that, these two EP's have become rather hard to find these days, so Behemoth puts both of them onto one cool looking cd!
An extra goodie to this, is that inside the digibook, are words straight from Behemoth themselves explaining why they have done this and a little about what was happening at the time (of recording/touring i presume)
For collectors as myself and for fans it is definatly something to look for.
What comes on each disc is 1 unreleased song (2 in total) a few covers, on these cd's you will find covers
of the like of Danzig (Until you Call on the Dark), Venom (Welcome To Hell) and even Nine Inch Nails! (Wish) as most Behemoth EP's Unreleased Covers and Live tracks on their EP's are pretty normal.
Now perhaps you might ask, ''Why should i buy this instead of the individual Ep's themselves?" Besides the fact that they are quite hard to find, and if you did find them, you most likely wont get them cheap either.
You wont get the bit of reading material, their are 2 bonus live tracks (one on each cd) of ''Lam'' on Conjuration and ''Demigod'' on Slaves Shall Serve, both taken from 2010.
Ill also say the Live songs are amazing! if you dont believe me, take their live album 'At The Arena Ov Aion' or their 2nd latest release 'Evangelia Heretika' and fell the raw power that is BEHEMOTH!

In Conclusion, ill say that for a collector and or a fan owning this is going to look great with your cd's, BUT if you really dont know the band or are just starting to get into them, i would not recommend this...if that is the case i recommend getting one of their albums first! ''The Apostasy" seems to be one of their most popular albums but Demigod hold my favorite :)
4.6/5 for die hard fans
3/5 for everyone else

PS: Those who know about Nergal, do not worry! Behemoth are starting to tour again on their 'Phoenix Rising Tour'' in October of this year, starting in Poland then eventually going to add more, and work their way through Europe,Asia, Australia and the USA! ''Stay Strong Never Give In!"

First REAL Blog - Album Review; Arch Enemy's Khaos Legions

Okay, for my first album review i said to myself ''What album recently have you been listening to alot?''
Arch Enemy's Braaaaanddd spanking new album Khaos Legions thats what!
First of all, ive been a fan of the mighty Enemy for quite some time now, i had the good fortune of seeing them live in '09 (which i most likely will do a review of on later)

What can i say? this album FUCKING ROCKS!!!!!!!
It is seriously a great album, i recommend it to any fan of arch enemy, weather a die-hard or someone who just knows one album.
I bought the Ltd Edt Deluxe (thats what it says on the sticker! a bit much but oh well hehe) Booklet.
The only downside to owning this....is that it is a very odd shape and doesn't fit neatly in my collection hahaha.

I cant review every single song, but i can do my favorite's, some seriously outstanding songs will include
''Bloodstained Cross'' the furious intro just makes the blood pump then greeted with a iconic scream from lead lady Angela Gossow. Some great features to this song, besides the ability to make your head bang!, are the words. The chorus is short and easy to follow ''You deceived, they believed, in your blood-stained-cross'' Gotta love it!
''No Gods, No Masters'' is such an Anthem it isnt funny! one of those songs that just makes you throw the hardest clenched fist in the air.
''Cruelty Without Beauty'' is a great example of the slower paced melodic intro Arch Enemy are known for.
Duel melodic solo by the Amott brothers? yes please!
''Under Black Flags We March'' Another evil intro that follows up with a ballsy intro riff pretty similar in my eyes to the riff of their 2005 album ''Doomsday Machine'' the song ''Nemesis' comes to mind.

All In All; This is definatly a great album! i definatly recommend to buy it!!!! tons of great songs, definatly could be counted as their best work! 5/5!

A little MORE about me.

I couldnt properly describe myself before...
Hi.........well this is awkward.... how about i tell you about me.
Im 17 years old, i live in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia (derr)
Im possibly one of the biggest Metalheads you might ever meet. I was listening to it since early early primary school (year 2 there about). Some people might think, ''Oh Thats Nothing, I Was Listening To It At Age One Bro'' That may be true, but the difference between that and me...i was unassisted. your dad, brother, sister, mother might have raised you on it. The only help i needed was a Catalyst (a starter/trigger) and that was my brother's friend. Sure my brother listened to it, but he never really introduced me to it really.
Ahh i remember it well, it was a 'mix cd' having a few songs of this and that. Its funny because i can still remember what songs it was. It included Rammstein, Slayer, Fear Factory, Murderdolls, Metallica and Coal Chamber. From there on then, i was set.
Thats a bit of my early life. For now i leave you with a picture of me breathing fucking fire because i can :D
