░█ █░ ▀
█ ItÆs been a while since IÆve been graced by a █
█ Swedish death metal band thatÆs not of the likes █
█ of your commonly heard Arch Enemy or Entombed. █
█ ItÆs always good when youÆre maybe looking for a █
█ little melody in your death metal, or just for █
█ that groovy Swedish flair. Entrails has been on █
█ the scene for quite a bit, but they donÆt seem to █
█ have the household-name status of some of the █
█ aforementioned bands. That obviously doesnÆt mean █
█ theyÆre not a solid band, and in fact World █
█ Inferno should prove that very well. █
█ █
█ World Inferno is the bandÆs fifth full-length █
█ release, and just to come right out and say it, █
█ itÆs not bad. ItÆs really not bad at all. I canÆt █
█ say that I was really overwhelmed by it, but it is █
█ just a pretty solid album of a pure and good █
█ Swedish death metal sound. █
█ █
█ rom the opening track, ôWorld Infernoö, this album █
█ immediately evoked the sounds of the good olÆ █
█ bands like The Haunted to me. The guitar tone is █
█ super gritty and overdriven, and full of █
█ double-picking and chugging. If itÆs one thing █
█ youÆll be doing a lot of while listening to this █
█ album, itÆs definitely headbanging. The riffs █
█ range from being closer on the death metal █
█ spectrum of rapid-fire speeds, to the other side █
█ of fist-pumping and groovy riffs like in ôSerial █
█ Murder (Death Squad).ö And this album really █
█ doesnÆt stop either. From start to finish, World █
█ Inferno is firing on all cylinders. █
█ █
█ Now, as I stated before, I wasnÆt exactly █
█ speechless over this album either. ItÆs not bad, █
█ and thatÆs about as positive as I can get. Because █
█ this album is pretty hot from beginning to end, █
█ thereÆs very little contrast differentiating each █
█ of the tracks from one another. It all can sort of █
█ clump together, and make remembering certain songs █
█ that much harder. And while I genuinely am a fan █
█ of the super overdriven guitar tone, it is near █
█ impossible to discern anything that is being █
█ played unless youÆre piping this album through a █
█ good stereo system, or top of the line headphones. █
█ And the difficulty to discern each of the guitar █
█ parts also make it a little tougher to distinguish █
█ certain tracks from the others. █
█ █
█ ItÆs also not very groundbreaking. ThatÆs not █
█ necessarily a criticism, but it is important to █
█ note for review purposes. Someone stumbling across █
█ this album with no context in mind might dismiss █
█ it as nothing special, or even as something █
█ boring. And like I said before, while I would █
█ never describe World Inferno as boring, I would █
█ describe it as monotonous. It took a good couple █
█ of listens to latch on to certain songs for █
█ memorability. █
█ █
█ In conclusion, is it a bad album? Absolutely not. █
█ It is a pretty solid album and a fantastic display █
█ of Swedish death metal power. The best part about █
█ this review is that Metal Blade has already █
█ released a full album stream of World Inferno on █
█ YouTube for you to form your own opinions on the █
█ album. Entrails has put out a pretty solid album, █
█ and even though I found it to be a little tedious, █
█ you might not. █
