Absidia - Written in Minor Key (2001)

Mixing up the melodic and chaotic attributes of Dismember, Carcass, and older Arch Enemy, this album stay in my music collection. Vocals are generally of the higher toned class, a la Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates, Nightrage), but occasionally the tracks are graced with a more gargled approach similar to Jeff Walker (Carcass). Musically, all instruments are played with technicality, precision, and skill; melodic yet overflowing with an endless aggression. Bottom line: Fucking ferocious!
