Bloodbath - "The Fathomless Mastery" (2008)

My opinion of Bloodbath's latest album still stands. Here's what I had to say when ranking the best albums of 2008:

A great, great album but compared to their previous efforts it's a major disappointment. That catchy quality, the hits, are entirely gone. Brutality just for the sake of it, riffs that go nowhere. Too much Florida, not enough Stockholm, if you know what I mean.

Compared to the rest of the catalog, that is. Compared to the rest of the death metal bands today, this is premium class A shit.

Yes, a good album indeed, just not very memorable. And the album cover is atrocious. These three songs are brilliant though:

(mp3) Bloodbath - Slaughtering the will to live (highly recommended!)
(mp3) Bloodbath - Mock the cross
(mp3) Bloodbath - Hades rising
