Face ripping,filthy,downright dirty!!!Those are the words that come to mind as the opening volley of nominons newest long player "MONUMENTOMB" blasts out of the speakers.Opening track mantra reverse twists and turns at hyper speed,anyone who has seen this band live can only imagine the intesity going on here as "the drums of death" are in serious affect here!!!There are several differences between this and their last release 'TERRA NECROSIS".Most notably is the presence of general surgery screamer Erik Sahlström om seven of the albums 9 tracks.Sahlstrom griity old school swede death vokils do this album a great service!!Secondly the production coming courtesy of Tore Stjerna(who also contributes vocals and lyrics to the album)and his necromorbus studio,which results in a sharper,slightly cleaner production then the previous album.Monumentomb twists and turns thru it's 9 tracks of "swedish metal of death",as nominon has always in my opinion successfully blended the old school ways with a nice blend of modern ferocity!!!While they are definatley not reinventing the wheel here,nominon has crafted if anything a solid entry into todays death metal spectrum,and at roughly 40 mins this album unlike so many others,doesn't overstay it's welcome.What you get here is a veteren band that does death metal the correctly,fast,heavy,dirty, filthy,and most of all unapologetic!!!! Poser Kill indeed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
8.5/10
