2023 remastered press on sand marbled vinyl

The Scandinavian death metal/black metal scene is not for thefaint of heart. Bands often write about Satanism and the occult,vocalists try to sound as evil as possible, and things can getbloody intense when dozens of young Nordic headbangers decide toform a mosh pit at a live concert. Notice the use of the word“dozens” as opposed to thousands; while many mainstream rockers caneasily sell out huge soccer stadiums, most Scandinavian death metalbands are so harsh and brutally punishing that they will never evencome close to mainstream acceptance (which is just as well becausemany of them treasure their underground outsider status).Nonetheless, some Nordic death metal bands are more merciful thanothers, and Where Ironcrosses Grow represents the more musical sideof Swedish death metal. For all its bombast and sledgehammer fury,this album is less extreme than most of the death metal albums thatwere recorded in Sweden in the early 2000s. Dismember’slate-2002/early-2003 line-up — lead singer Matti Karki, guitaristDavid Blomqvist, bassist Richard Cabeza, and drummer Fred Estby —is relatively melodic (at least by death metal/black metalstandards), and the material often underscores the band’s debt to’80s thrash. Stylistically, Where Ironcrosses Grow is closer toSlayer and Sepultura than, say, an amelodic grindcore outfit likethe infamous Cannibal Corpse. Of course, Slayer and Sepultura canbe ferocious, and Where Ironcrosses Grow isn’t exactly easylistening; melody and all, this release packs a nasty, bruisingpunch. Clearly, time has not mellowed or softened Dismember, whocelebrated their 15th anniversary in 2003 — and while this albumdoesn’t break any new ground for the Nordic metalheads, longtimefollowers will find it to be a respectable addition to theircatalog.
