Each song is ║ │ │║ brilliantly crafted with both straight forward ║ │ │║ and complex high octane riffs, meticulously ║ │ │║ played solos, and spellbinding melodies. Like ║ │ │║ the character ôMr. Dark,ö choruses on tracks ║ │ │║ like the Bradbury inspired ôSomething Wicked ║ │ │║ This Way Comesö draw out the good from the most ║ │ │║ devout of listeners. Hell makes you want Satan ║ │ │║ as your master û though in the end, itÆs merely ║ │ │║ a well-acted part from British actor David Bower ║ │ │║ (known in acting circles as David Beckford). ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Now donÆt misunderstand me here, when pitted ║ │ │║ against the musical acumen of geniuses like ║ │ │║ Arjen Luccasson or Devin Townsend, HellÆs ║ │ │║ members may not make your top musician lists. ║ │ │║ ItÆs the combination of pure metal played in a ║ │ │║ highly contagious variety, with a sole purpose ║ │ │║ to entertain, and that is where the true genius ║ │ │║ lies. You may have heard it all beforeà but be ║ │ │║ prepared to be wrapped up in all the evil to the ║ │ │║ point where ôCurse & Chapterö plays near ║ │ │║ endlessly for weeks (and months) on end. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôDarkhangelö (no misprint) alone makes the ║ │ │║ entire album worth mentioning in the annual top ║ │ │║ 10 lists. Only, it doesnÆt stop there: ôLand of ║ │ │║ the Living Deadö and ôDeliver Us From Evilö are ║ │ │║ some of the albumÆs most entertaining (needs ║ │ │║ more cowbellà), while ôThe Age of Nefariousö ║ │ │║ gives a clever and sarcastic ode to the 5th ║ │ │║ Dimension classic ôAge of Aquariusö in the first ║ │ │║ 3 seconds of the chorus. ItÆs fun, its metal, ║ │ │║ itÆs the way of it should be in this ultra- ║ │ │║ sensitive and overly serious world we live in. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ôCurse & Chapterö is one of those albums that ║ │ │║ likely will not impress those who take their ║ │ │║ music much too seriously and fail to stop and ║ │ │║ take in the fun and humor of it all. Hell is ║ │ │║ designed for the metal warrior of old and a new ║ │ │║ generation of fans who didnÆt have the luxury of ║ │ │║ growing up with bands like Mercyful Fate, Satan, ║ │ │║ Agent Steel, and Abattoir. For these fans, this ║ │ │║ album represents one of the required buys of the ║ │ │║ year, one chock full of so many subgenres and ║ │ │║ styles that all equally vie for the title of ║ │ │║ metalÆs best. ôCurse & Chapterö is the best of ║ │ │║ what metal needs to be at times û off handed, ║ │ │║ snarky, rebellious, tougue-in-cheek poster ║ │ │║ children of metal stereotypes. Evil is divineà ║ │ │║ and Hell is Heaven. Reap the benefits and sow ║ │ │║ the seeds of true metal. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Highs: One of the best examples of traditional ║ │ │║ metal to be released this year. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Lows: Not for those who like the more serious ║ │ │║ aspects of music. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ Bottom line: Through "Curse & Chapter" evil ║ │ │║ draws you into the mouth of Hell. ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - Gehennae Incendiis [01:47] │ │ 02 - The Age Of Nefarious [03:47] │ │ 03 - The Disposer Supreme [06:53] │ │ 04 - Darkhangel [07:15] │ │ 05 - Harbinger Of Death [04:56] │ │ 06 - End Ov Days [05:34] │ │ 07 - Deathsquad [05:14] │ │ 08 - Something Wicked This Way Comes [05:10] │ │ 09 - Faith Will Fall [03:48] │ │ 10 - Land Of The Living Dead [04:09] │ │ 11 - Deliver Us From Evil [04:45] │ │ 12 - A Vespertine Legacy [06:37] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [59:55 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
