Album Description

"Eighteenth anniversary" are two words that, back in 1988, probably never entered the minds of either the Swedish moshers who comprised {$Dismember}'s original lineup or their early fans in Stockholm. Back then, {\death metal} was a new kid on the headbanger block -- and it was a bad, unruly, nasty, disturbing kid who was loud and obnoxious even by {\metal} standards. The kind of kid who seems destined to live fast, self-destruct, die young, and leave a not-so-pretty corpse behind -- not someone who will still be going strong 18 years down the line. But {\death metal} endured, and {$Dismember} celebrated their 18th anniversary with the release of  {^The God That Never Was} in 2006 (although technically, it's a 17th anniversary celebration because the album was recorded during the summer/early autumn of 2005). This is not a band that has become more congenial with time or a band that "had to grow up eventually"; providing {\death metal} that is very mindful of {\thrash}, {$Dismember} is still blistering after 18 years -- and they aren't apologetic about it. If there is anything "grown up" about {^The God That Never Was}, it is the musicianship; the moshers in this {$Dismember} lineup definitely have chops, which is an important point because -- face it -- there are plenty of young rockers these days who can't play their instruments and haven't spent enough time in what {\jazz} musicians call "the shed." {^The God That Never Was} reminds you that being loud, fast, and abrasive doesn't have to mean being sloppy -- and while this 35-minute CD doesn't take {$Dismember} into any new or uncharted territory, it is a decent, if predictable, effort that is played with conviction and underscores the longevity of these Nordic {\death metal} veterans. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Album Description

The {\Scandinavian death metal/black metal} scene is not for the faint of heart. Bands often write about Satanism and the occult, vocalists try to sound as evil as possible, and things can get bloody intense when dozens of young Nordic headbangers decide to form a mosh pit at a live concert. Notice the use of the word "dozens" as opposed to thousands; while many mainstream rockers can easily sell out huge soccer stadiums, most {\Scandinavian death metal} bands are so harsh and brutally punishing that they will never even come close to mainstream acceptance (which is just as well because many of them treasure their underground outsider status). Nonetheless, some Nordic {\death metal} bands are more merciful than others, and {^Where Ironcrosses Grow} represents the more musical side of Swedish {\death metal}. For all its bombast and sledgehammer fury, this CD is less extreme than most of the {\death metal} albums that were recorded in Sweden in the early 2000s. {$Dismember}'s late-2002/early-2003 lineup -- lead singer {$Matti Karki}, guitarist {$David Blomqvist}, bassist {$Richard Cabeza}, and drummer {$Fred Estby} -- is relatively melodic (at least by {\death metal/black metal} standards), and the material often underscores the band's debt to '80s {\thrash}. Stylistically, {^Where Ironcrosses Grow} is closer to {$Slayer} and {$Sepultura} than, say, an amelodic {\grindcore} outfit like the infamous {$Cannibal Corpse}. Of course, {$Slayer} and {$Sepultura} can be ferocious, and {^Where Ironcrosses Grow} isn't exactly {\easy listening}; melody and all, this release packs a nasty, bruising punch. Clearly, time has not mellowed or softened {$Dismember}, who celebrated their 15th anniversary in 2003 -- and while this CD doesn't break any new ground for the Nordic metalheads, longtime followers will find it to be a respectable addition to their catalog. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
