This review is of Swedish Death Metal band Sorcery,it is a 3 track cassette released by Nocturnal Blood Records and limited to 300. This band have been around since the 80's but recently reformed in 2009 and glad we are that they did!! The band is-Ola Malmstom on vocals, Paul Johansson on bass, Jocke Olofson on drums and Henrik Lindenmo on guitar. The trouble with it being 3 tracks is it over way too soon and you are just getting into it and its over!! The tracks are 1-"Master of Chains", 2-" Heaven Lies Dead", 3- The Rites of Sacrifice 09" and I have no favourite track as they are all goodies1
They sound really well honed on this release and play a slightly doomy DM with a nice touch of thrash,perhaps harking back to their older days when they were a more out and out thrash band, its a good mix of fast and slower tempo stuff that works well for me! The vocals are good and growly and the guitar playing is top notch with really ripping stuff on here! The back line of bass and drums hold their own and all adds up to a really good band that hopefully I will get to hear more off!
Catch them on their own website www.sorcery.com
