It's difficult to commit yourself to such a lofty goal as listening to a new album every week. Especially in weeks like this, where only three new releases exist and you only have access to one of them. And that one is a Norwegian black metal album called "Goat Carcass Rising". What am I doing with my life?Altogether though, I honestly don't have much negativity to say about this record. It's real simple. Whereas others in the genre might try to employ some vast instrumentation and dark forboding tones, Vesen keep together some simple old-school thrash riffs and little more. I'm going to bet that they're not masters of the English language, because when they grab a phrase they like, like "Mindfield Paranoia", they simply repeat it a lot.
Sometimes its even fun. "Spotlight Junkie" for example is just a repetition of the phrase "Whores on parade!" However, I still wouldn't call it a great record- even if you do like gravelly barkers and thrashy guitar rock. There are plenty of better metal records out there. (1.5 of 5 stars)
