Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Death Metal ARTIST BIO Fleshcrawl came to life in spring 1987 by Stefan Hanus and Bastian Herzog. The band worked under the name Morgvth until the year 1990, when they changed their moniker to Suffocation and decided to become much more extreme concerning the musical direction. After their first demo tape "Festering Flesh" they were again forced to change their band name because of the upcoming US Suffocation and their first vinyl appearance. After having found a constant band name in FLESHCRAWL they released their first 7" EP "Lost in a Grave" in 1991 on Morbid Records. One year later FLESHCRAWL inked a record contract with Black Mark Production. In June 1992 they recorded their debut album "Descend into the Absurd" at Montezuma Studio, Stockholm. Shortly after, Mike Hanus replaced Gero Schmitt on guitar. In 1993 Fleshcrawl's second album "Impurity" was produced in Dan Swanv's Unisound Studio. FLESHCRAWL received great reviews from the international press for their brutal and uncompromising Death Metal sound, not to mention their highly powered live shows. They proved their power at the Easter Bash Tour '95 where they were joined by Deicide, Cathedral and Brutal Truth.

In December '95 FLESHCRAWL recorded their third album "Bloodsoul" being followed by their fourth album "Bloodred Massacre" in 1997 - both recorded at Abyss Studios by Peter Tdgtgren. Having been the debut for the new singer Sven Gross who took over the place of Alex Pretzer, "Bloodred Massacre" earned the best reviews since their first album in 1992.

In 1998 Tobias Schick occupied the long time vacant bassist slot. After the release of "Bloodred Massacre", FLESHCRAWL cut the ties with Black Mark and went on a four week European Tour with Vader and Kataklysm, also participating in festivals with Cannibal Corpse and Dark Funeral. Back from the tour, FLESHCRAWL signed a contract with Metal Blade Records. In January 2000 "As Blood Rains from the Sky - We Walk The Path Of Endless Fire" - produced at Fredman Studios in Gothenburg - was released. A top class production with killer riffs and vocals that penetrate to the bone made "As Blood Rains from the Sky - We Walk The Path Of Endless Fire" an absolute must have item for all Death Metal Fans. Press reactions and reviews for this album turned out to be the best since the band came together in 1987.

In June 2000 FLESHCRAWL went out to tour Europe together with Vader and Vital Remains for a 25-show trek. Several single shows and festivals followed throughout the summer (e.g. Czech Dynamo Festival, Summer Breeze Festival). In the meantime, FLESHCRAWL started preparing their new song material for their 2nd album on Metal Blade. In January 2001 they supported Bolt Thrower on a warm-up tour of Germany and Holland followed by the Torture-Tour in June 2001 supporting Six Feet Under. That same year FLESHCRAWL performed live on the Party-San Open Air. In September 2001 the band entered Studio Underground in Vdsteras, Sweden, to produce album No. 6 - "Soulskinner". After having returned from the studio with the best feeling ever, the band went out to promote "Soulskinner" supporting Bolt Thrower and Benediction on a 4 week European Tour in January 2002.

Having played a few single shows in Germany and Europe throughout spring and early summer 2002, FLESHCRAWL performed on Wacken 2002, which turned out to be a really successful experience. This also was the first appearance of new guitarist Oliver Grbavac substituting founding member Stefan Hanus, who quit the band for personal and private reasons. In fall 2002 the band appeared on the Westfalenfestival in Dortmund amongst other things. Another premiere took place in November 2002: FLESHCRAWL played their first tour of Japan supporting Hypocrisy from Sweden. This was a very intense and huge experience in the band's career. In retrospect, the year 2002 became the most successful since the band's foundation.

After having returned from Japan, FLESHCRAWL started writing for the next album. During the year 2003 the band made itself scarce concerning live shows in order to intensely prepare the new song material for the follow-up to "Soulskinner". In November 2003, FLESHCRAWL again headed up to Studio Underground in Sweden to record album No. 7, entitled "MADE OF FLESH", which musically kicks off where "Soulskinner" ended. "MADE OF FLESH" features 10 songs of extreme variety and deadliness - having something in store for every die-hard death metal fan!

Darkness Our Bride (Jugular Wedding)
Principle of Evil Made Flesh
Forest Whispers My Name
Iscariot

NOBODY CARES ABOUT SATAN ANYMORE except for Christians. Are you guys a Christian rock band or what??? If you keep quoting the stupid bible in your songs, your gonna end up on 92.3 FM, "THE MUSIC OF THE LORD, BY CRADLE OF FILTH".

This album is fine!.......2007-02-26

Despite the negative comments certain people have left, I believe this album to be fine. It's very atmospheric and the vocals don't sound too much different. It's a first release, so obviously it isnt as good as some of their later albums but really it isnt that bad. And in response to that comment about the keyboards sounding like carnival music: They definitely do not. Far from carnival music actually. Guess that person doesnt know his sounds very well.

For all you Cradle of Filth haters, also:
Cradle of Filth is an amazing band. Not only do they not sound like pointless noise like a lot of other black metal bands, but their lyrics and vocals and instrumentals are all amazing. Who cares if they came to sound more commercial? It's their prerogative and personally I think they came to sound a lot better.

Another band that I USED to like...........2007-02-24

..But now that I've been introduced to some much, much more evil metal (Morbid Angel, Slayer, Hellhammer, et cetera), I could care less about this band. In fact, only one of their albums I still listen to anymore these days ("Damnation and a Day") and even that album gets on my nerves. Dani Filth (pretty accurate name) has possibly one of the worst "evil" voices I've ever heard! The guitarists prevail in churning out some pretty cool stuff once in awhile but that's about it. There's no bass (well, there might be one, I just can't hear it), the keyboards are lame, the drummer feels like he can beat on anything he wants (which does NOT make music, I'm afraid. Nice try, though), and overall, this band just flatout doesn't do it for me anymore.

I know I'm probably wasting my time and you CoF fans will probably bash me (and my good buddy Comrade Ren) with "flamez of DOOM!!" and nonhelpful votes, but not everyone will like this band, you know. Get over it! Just listen to any band that Comrade Ren below me listed. And you fanboys/fangirls try to realize that CoF isn't real black metal (Dimmu Borgir is real black metal, my friends!).

Undoubtedly the worst black metal band ever........2007-02-23

Maybe not since Cradle of Cr@p isn't really black metal. This is about as evil and chilling as a crying baby. Harsh and irritating, yes, but evil? Nope. This is f@ggoth nu-metal, "black metal" for your typical nu-metal kids too afraid to listen to real metal. God I hate Dani's voice, and the music is awful. No bass, mediocre guitars, lame keyboards, and terrible drumming. I'd rather rip my d1ck off and throw it in Lake Michigan than listen to these guys.

For truly evil metal albums (not just black metal) listen to Bathory's "Blood Fire Death," Celtic Frost's "Morbid Tales," Nocturnus's "The Key," Morbid Angel's "Altars of Madness" (this is godly), Slayer's "Hell Awaits," and Hellhammer's "Apocalyptic Raids" for starters.

Death to Cradle of Filth.

Majestic hymns sung with British accents. A great combination! I haven't noticed any objectionable sounds on my copy.

hymns we sang in church.......2003-02-16

i grew up in a traditional presbyterian church that had a pipe organ. i wanted a cd of many of the hymns that we sang in church sung by a choir and accompanied by a pipe organ. this cd fulfilled my wishes perfectly. the hymns are performed in a very straight-forward fashion with no show-boating or excess flourishes which is exactly what i wanted. this is not gospel music but what i refer to as liturgical music to indicate that it is religious music but not gospel music. i would give it 5 stars but there is a slight hiss. other than that the recording quality is very good.

am i missing something?.......2006-11-24

I seriously can't hear the bad production on this cd. maybe its weaker than some other bands production (Origin) and maybe even some of their OWN albums (once was not) but the sound is really tight, and it makes it much more enjoyable to listen to.

Lord Worm is what got me into this band when i had a chance to see them live. I never really took a shine to them before i saw him become this undeniable presence on that stage. I was blessed by lord worm, my friend ate the worm, and threw up later that night.

I love them for everything theyve given me and the death metal scene.
Memories, a great front-man, and great music that helps the rest of us get through our lives.

highly recommended.
along with none so vile
ungentle exhumation (which really is worth it, although short)
and once was not (aka flo jacking off behind a drum set)

Cryptopsy's great debut........2006-09-21

Though not as great as "None So Vile," "Blasphemy Made Flesh" still offers the stuff we want. Despite the bad production, you can hear every instrument in this album, even the bass!! Lord Worm sounds like the dark lord himself, and his lyrics are very intelligently written. Martin Ferguson's basslines are very awesome and unlike most other metal bands, they're completely audible; him and Flo are the strongpoints of Cryptopsy. Steve Thibault and Jonathan Levasseur deliver brutal and really fast guitar assaults. Last but not least, there's Flo Mounier. He's one of, if not the best drummers in the world; he can do machine gun double bass and incorporate jazz beats into the songs.

I love every song equally on this album equally, so there's no higlights.

If you love tech-death, put this in your collection now!!

REMASTER IT.......2006-09-02

If the record is reading this, a remaster would totally rule. This album wouild be a masterpiece, and the music is awesome, but ______, the production is just awful. Who gives a ____ though? Well I do, but ________ sound aside, this cd owns. I think you should wait for a remaster. But otherwise, this is sweet.

Close Your Eyes...This May Hurt A Lot!.......2006-08-12

Cryptopsy blew me away the first time I listened to them. It's like a mix of grindcore mixed with technical death and jazz. It's unbelievable. And this is the album that started it all.

"Defenstration" has some of the best bass lines you'll ever hear in music. And Flo Mounier is an unhuman blastbeat guy! Lord Worm, even though you can't understand the majority of his lyrics, fits in well with the band. Mike DeSalvo ("Whisper Supremacy" and "And Then You'll Beg" vocalist) is decent and all, but Lord Worm fits more perfectly.

You need this album, whether it's brutal death, tech death, or grindcore that fits your fancy.

Solid debut.......2006-04-15

Cryptopsy's debut is 10 energetic tracks of standard death metal, with a few qualities that put it ahead of similar music. Some basic elements of later albums are here- tremolo picked riffs, the blastbeating and the grunts of Lord Worm (whose voice is not as developed here as the inhuman howl on "None So Vile", at this point it sounds fairly typical).

The production is crappy but honestly there's no Cryptopsy album that's really produced well, except maybe "And Then You'll Beg..." (I haven't heard it). The guitars in the low ranges are too thin for the notes to be audible over some of the more high-speed beats. The bass playing is very audible for once, actually, which is a plus- there's some very quick, great playing on here.

So what sets this album apart? Well, the lyrics for one are hilarious and clever throughout. Who but Lord Worm would come up with lines like "I just want to hold your pretty hand / The rest of you can be dissolved in acid." They're often sincerely disgusting but don't take themselves seriously at all (always one of Worm's best attributes as a death metal vocalist). Honestly entertaining to read, far above the pseudo-sinister/psychopath bravado of Chris Barnes.

Next, there's some great melodic guitar harmonies placed tastefully through this album, some great solos. "Abigor" has a geniunely haunting middle section, sounding more progressive than anything. "Serial Messiah" has some more great harmonies.

Furthermore, many of the tracks on this album absolutely rock, some of the best headbanging material there ever was. "Defenestration", "Serial Messiah" and "Born Headless" are the standouts to me, chunky, blistering riffs, occasionally slowing down drastically to massive, weighty effect. Cryptopsy's songwriting skills even at this stage were fairly advanced. Each song has interesting transitory licks, tempo changes, and about 5 different (often great) riffs.

Flo Mounier's drum performance here is standout like on every Cryptopsy album, going far beyond the call of duty for music of this nature. There are simple blast beats, but there's a surprising wealth of different ideas he brings in. "Gravaged" has some truly crazy and creative rhythms.

The playing is incredibly tight, there's one point in the album where the whole band literally stops in a millisecond for a brief pause and comes back in with more devastating riffage.

The vocals occasionally shine. They really do sound devilish. They're totally indecipherable like "None So Vile", but "Open Face Surgery" has a 30 second scream. Name another vocalist who can do THAT...

The songs are all very much similar, and that is the album's greatest weakness. If you're in the mood for some great ultra-heavy music, you can't go wrong here though. I'd love to see any of these songs live.

If you're a fan of old school death metal, this is recommended. The best idea is still to start with their classic "None So Vile", but these 2 albums are different enough for owning both to be worth it.

For those who enjoy a more progressive / technical slant on things, check out their albums with their second vocalist, Mike DiSalvo (particularly "Whisper Supremacy") or their new album "Once Was Not" (a masterpiece).

It's good to have the clean-vowelled, fresh-voiced Cambridge Singers back in action with composer John Rutter, who demonstrates once again his considerable talents as a choral director. Here, he also had his work cut out arranging 15 of the tracks (and composing one other). Divided up into various categories, such as "the Eucharist" and "folk hymns," this album will delight the confirmed hymn enthusiast, provided that he or she doesn't insist on the pure, as-written product. Rutter's reworkings range from the bold and brassy (occasionally deliciously over the top--what would Martin Luther have thought of the naughtiness in "A mighty fortress is our God"?) to those of harp-accompanied simplicity, not least in the charming lines of "Be thou my vision." Several tasteful descants are models of their kind. There are some surprises at which to chuckle. For example, not the expected brass and organ job on "We plough the fields and scatter," but a dainty, tripping harp accompaniment to the familiar melody, such as Haydn might have wedded to a Scottish folksong. Occasional numbers might be too saccharine for some tastes, but there are cunningly placed samples of Gregorian chant, Tallis, and Gibbons to provide contrast and cleanse the palate. --Andrew Green

What can I say !.......2007-02-15

Having listened to this twice... It is difficult to find words for something so Glorious. It doesn't almost hurt, but I almost exploded in heavenly rapture several times.
You will need to get two. It is not music that you will want to keep to yourself.

a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-02-02

'The hymns heard on this disc span over 15 centuries of the history of Christian Europe, and have been chosen simply to make up a varied program which can be pleasant to hear.' Some items are accompanied by organ, some by harp where a lighter sound was more appropriate. Some are unaccompanied as in the Gregorian hymns, and five of the grandest hymns are given festival arrangements using brass, timpani, percussion and organ. Although the perspective of this album is Anglican,it must be noted that the Anglican hymn tradition has been notably eclectic. Hymnody is forever changing. 'This album does NOT attempt to reflect the most recent changes-the emergence of pop and folk-influenced worship songs and choruses has been well taken care of elsewhere, and time alone will tell whether there is any lasting worth in this most drastic upheaval of worship style.' Therefore, it is timely to reflect upon the immense riches of hymns built up over so many centuries, when they are at great risk of neglect. John Rutter has produced an amazing number of arrangements as well as original songs, and they are all first-rate. Choirs throughout the world (who are skilled enough to sing them)take great pleasure in working with his selections, and audiences, regardless of listening experience seem to enjoy them. They are tuneful, clever and unusual!!!
The Cambridge Singers number : 10 female sopranos,2 male and 4 female altos, 7 tenors and 8 basses. They sing extremely well with clear consonents and well-shaped vowels and plenty of gusto. I miss the boy sopranos that usually sing in the British choirs, but that's only a personal preference, and it surely is not Rutter's preference, because I have never known him to make use of them. A truly inspiring recording, nonetheless.

Another Rutter Keeper!.......2003-02-17

Rutter has won many fans throughout the world for his passionate, creative yet tasteful contributions to church music. Here is a hymn collection with several traditional choices along with Rutter originals.

Several comprise Rutter's remakes, which is most cases are very diginified and not at all distractive to the thrust of the original. The orchestration is superb, and the Cambridge Singers of course provide outstanding choral might.

Well worth consideration to the church music collection.

worship of god made mostglorius in this cd.......2002-04-30

i was 1st introduced to john rutters music on a radio program... when i 1st heard the arrangement of christ the lord is risen today presented in this cd i pictured a grand celebration of the solemn mass of the resurection of our lord and pictured in particular the grand procession i pictured this being celebrated... this hymn and cd does as best as humanly possible represent the great glory of god and does as its title suggests sing with the heavens and for you fellow traditionalists this is a strongly recomended cd

Heavenly Music.......2001-10-15

The hymns of SING, YE HEAVENS represent 1500 years of music in the Christian church. Pure and rich are these hymns by the Cambridge Singers with their perfect diction that leaves nothing for improvement and their tone quality that envelops the listener. The beauty of the harp, the organ, and the brass adds to the pleasure this CD brings to the listener's ear and heart.

Insane Swedes With Instruments........2007-01-05

Yes, if you remember all the godfather's of Swedish Death Metal (Grave, Unleashed, Entombed, etc.) then you'll want to make sure that these guy's find their way into your CD collection. All the songs on here are great. In my opinion, the bonus tracks were as great as the main track list. The song Eaten, will defintely become a favorite, being a sick vision of being cannabalized. I was way into the death bands coming out of Sweden, back when they first came out and I rank Bloodbath right up there with the greats. These guys shred: end of story.

Some damn fine Swedish death.......2006-05-25

Back in 2002, when Bloodbath released their last album (their debut disc, "Resurrection Through Carnage"), the rock music scene was swarming with nu-metal bands like Limp Bizkit. Flash forward three years and the heavy music scene is now overflowing with Swedish melodeath-influenced metalcore bands like Killswitch Engage. But whether several years in the past or modern day, it's always been very refreshing to hear a new Bloodbath album. And while "Nightmares Made Flesh" may not break down any walls, it's good to know that you won't find one trace of Fred Durst-style rapping or KsE-esque soulful singing. Indeed, this five piece is a rare find nowadays: a not very melodic Swedish death metal band.

A fan might be quick to dismiss Bloodbath's new album, "Nightmares Made Flesh," because it's the band's first album without the talents of Opeth singer Mikael Akerfeldt. But most any Bloodbath/death metal fan will tell you that newcomer Peter Tagtgren does a fine job of filling in for Akerfeldt's shoes. Peter's Hellish voice sounds equally as effective and intense whether it's belting out low bellows or high, glass shattering shrieks. Plus, the rest of the band seem to great, as well. Blakkheim and Dan Swano (who was Bloodbath's former drummer) comprise the guitar duo, and they turn out many exceptional, fiery, and mighty heavy riffs. And meanwhile, newbie drummer Martin Axenrot pummels away at his trapkit with loose, thrashy precision.

"Cancer Of The Soul," which features thick, churning guitars and thunderous double bass work, is the album's fist bludgeoning. "Brave New Hell" and "Soul Evisceration" feature pounding, bulldozing riffs, mini guitar solos, and cool, shrill battle cries, making these songs worthy follow ups to the album opener. Elsewhere, "Eaten" is a slower, churning rhythm with an acoustic interlude and a few speaker-shaking bellows; "Bastard Son Of God" is full of grumbling guitars and pounding drums; "The Ascension" successfully incorporates an orchestra into the mix of blazing riffs, rapid fire drums, and ascending guitar solos; and, lastly, "Draped In Disease" is highlighted by a whiplash tempo change, as well as more scorching riffs and jackhammer double bass drumming.

So, all in all, "Nightmares Made Flesh" may not really break down any new walls, but when you consider how condensed and cliche the Swedish metal scene is today, any metalhead would tell you it's great to have Bloodbath back.

A damn good one..........2005-12-22

This album definitely kicks some ass. The different line-up makes this album sound a bit different than the last so for me, it's hard to compare them.

Obviously, Mr. Tatgren on vox rather than Akerfeldt is the most noticeable. I personally like Mike's voice a lot so for me it was a little sketchy when pondering wether or not to buy. But, of course, Peter tatgren's voice on old Hypocrisy was quite good so I bought it( I don't like his later vocals on Hypocrisy). Well, I was put at ease immediately. He hit these vox on the head, no question.

As for the rest of the changes, I think they were for the better as this album is definitely more complex and textured and I like it alot. The drumming in particular is much tighter. I still like Akerfeldt's roar but Peter Tatgren truly does give his best performance in years, if not ever(check Hypocrisy's "4th Dimension). This has all you could ask for in a Swedish DM record.

I'm biased though. I dont usually like death metal from the US. Basically I feel like Sweden is the only damn country that understands HOW to make good DM, and that is by SLOWING IT DOWN. Most US bands seem to try to play too fast, and spend alot of time looking up eviscerate in their thesaurus. That's just me.

If you like this, try other swedish and norwegian metal- it still has a pure music-based spirit. But, as always, Europe has always produced better metal than the US.

Unleashed, Emperor, My Dying Bride, Opeth, Rotting Christ, old Satyricon and Hypocrisy, Dark Funeral, old Dissection etc... Enjoy!!!

Holy Sh!t.......2005-11-02

This album is sick. Reminds me so much of old-school European DM. Truthfully, I didn't like Bloodbath from what I heard, But I also heard a hype about Nightmares Made Flesh. So I listened to a song and it was simply amazing. Any fan of metal will like this. 10/10

The Deathmetal is alive again.......2005-10-10

When i first heard of bloodbath I thought oh great yet another Deathmetal band geez. That all ended with the first track. The sounding of the drums mixed so well with the guitar and the bass then that singinging of the lead singer mixed in. They showed that Deathmetal is not only back but with a furious pain that will take down anything and everything in its way. They show that deathmetal for what it truly is

I've bought Three of These, the 1st I gave away and the person loved it so much that I had to get a second one, then my Aunt fell in love with it so I had to get her one for Christmas. The music is great as Kep's music always is.

Album Description

Death Metal ARTIST BIO Fleshcrawl came to life in spring 1987 by Stefan Hanus and Bastian Herzog. The band worked under the name Morgvth until the year 1990, when they changed their moniker to Suffocation and decided to become much more extreme concerning the musical direction. After their first demo tape "Festering Flesh" they were again forced to change their band name because of the upcoming US Suffocation and their first vinyl appearance. After having found a constant band name in FLESHCRAWL they released their first 7" EP "Lost in a Grave" in 1991 on Morbid Records. One year later FLESHCRAWL inked a record contract with Black Mark Production. In June 1992 they recorded their debut album "Descend into the Absurd" at Montezuma Studio, Stockholm. Shortly after, Mike Hanus replaced Gero Schmitt on guitar. In 1993 Fleshcrawl's second album "Impurity" was produced in Dan Swanv's Unisound Studio. FLESHCRAWL received great reviews from the international press for their brutal and uncompromising Death Metal sound, not to mention their highly powered live shows. They proved their power at the Easter Bash Tour '95 where they were joined by Deicide, Cathedral and Brutal Truth.

Customer Reviews:

awesome death metal!.......2007-04-02

Fleshcrawl sounds like Dismember or Entombed being fronted by Cannibal Corpse lead singer George Fisher. I highly recommend this disc to fans of death metal. you automatically know that when the lead vocalist says "Made Of Flesh" at the beginning of the title cut, these guys are going to kick your arse to kingdom come. one DM band is compared to Mike Tyson. I compare these guys to the Undertaker.

Good death metal!!.......2005-12-02

Great atmosphere here, with a not impressive drums, but fit the genre perfectly, impressive guitar riffs and average vocals. For fans of Morbid Angel, Sceptic and the likes.

Fantasitc.......2002-07-29

First off, I have to warn that the sound production is not the best part of this album, giving it a very rough sound as opposed to the digital sound quality of later albums. But this is some of COF's best material, including "The Forest Whispers My Name," "Black Goddess Rising," "Summer Dying Fast," and not to mention the blistering title track. The musicianship is flawless, with the minor exception of some of the keyboards, which sound a little bit like music from games like Zelda, not that that's a bad thing. Dani's vocals also had yet to turn into the piercing shriek he now has, but still fit the music very well. All in all, buy it now, order it if you have to, but it's well worth the price of admission. Check out "Dusk and Her Embrace" too.

The Principles of Metal on Plastic.......2002-07-02

This is classic Cradle of Filth. All the aspects are here: the stampeding drum beats, the lightning-fast guitar parts, and song structure that is lacking in many other bands in this genere. The only thing missing is Dani's trademark vocals, which are found in later albums. No matter. Songs like the title track, 'The Forest Whispers My Name' and 'Black Goddess Rises' are worth the price of the album. For real metal fans, especially Cradle fans, 'Principle of Evil Made Flesh' is a requirement.

Classic!.......2001-11-16

This is the second best Cradle album after Dusk. This is the closest to Black Metal Cradle ever got and it is way better than any black metal album i have ever heard. Buy this album! i swear you will not regret it

key tracks: The forest whispers my name, To eve the art of witchcraft, A Crecendo of Passion Bleeding, Of Mist and Midnight skies.
