In the eye of the storm<\/strong> EYE OF PURGATORY“Darkborne<\/strong>“Album (Apostasy Records)<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

A sound like <\/strong>a war of the worlds! The cover of the Swedish-American death metal combo’s new album already shows the darkness you should be prepared for. Each song is like a chapter in this musical horror story about supernatural occurrences in a small town. The trio around Rogga Johansson plays furiously and skillfully combines traditional Swedish death metal with John Carpenter-esque elements of horror film soundtracks. The result is droning metal paired with eerily dark and emotional synthesizer sounds that only Eye of Purgatory can master. <\/p>\n\n

Michael Schille<\/p>\n\n
