DISMEMBER – WHERE IRONCROSSES GROW (CANDLELIGHT RECORDS)



Like Grip Inc. before them, Sweden’s Dismember return to the Metal brethren after a 4-year absence, the last time they graced us with an album was 2000’s ‘Hate Campaign’. This time round, having left the Nuclear Blast roost for Candlelight, they offer for our consideration this heavy slab of Scandinavian death, and by the Gods, it’s good to have them back.
No strangers to the Metal scene, Dismember have been around since the end of the eighties, releasing their debut album ‘Like an ever flowing stream’ in 1991. ‘Where Ironcrosses Grow’ will disappoint none of their hardcore fan base, that familiar Swedish grind a welcome noise, like the return of a long lost family member. Witness the riff that runs through ‘Chasing the Serpent’, or the opening riff to ‘As the coins upon your eyes’ – how’s that for sheer Metal bliss? In fact, the whole album grinds and rumbles with some of the catchiest riffs it’s been my pleasure to hear in a long time.
The musicianship is second-to-none, as is the excellent production, produced by the band themselves. WICG also sees the return of Dan Seagrave, the talented artist who was the preferred choice for Death Metal album covers in the 90’s. The last time he appeared on an album sleeve was in 2000, with Morbid Angel’s ‘Gateways to Annihilation’. Seagrave and DM strangely go together, like Ra-ma la-ma la-ma ka ding-a da ding-de dong, or something …
Dismember - classy, professional, and very, very face-shredding.

Evil or Very Mad
