• Red Vinyl, Mediocre Sound

  4 out of 5 stars

  The red vinyl looks real nice, packed in a strong gatefold cover. Like others mentioned, the sound ain't the best, but it's alright.

• Puzzled by Weight Claim

  Certainly not 180 grams. Newbury Comics never stated it was, so I'm puzzled about where that detail originated.

• Raro Álbum Nacional Limitado

  Ótimo álbum, edição nacional limitada de apenas 1.000 cópias, acho que não me engano, fica cada vez mais difícil de encontrar.

• Ghostly Missteps

  3 out of 5 stars

  Tobias Forge and his ever-changing bandmates return for another round of devilish antics and mischief. While their first album was a strangely alluring occult rock tribute to Blue Oyster Cult, this sequel leans more into the campy, comedic vibe of a 'Carry On' film, contrasting with the Hammer Horror feel of the debut. So, what went awry? Let's explore... While the first album nailed the schlock horror vibe with some unforgettable Satanic hymns, 'Infestissumam' comes across as overly calculated and somewhat saccharine. Perhaps Tobias was striving too hard for a hit record? Or maybe he backed out of his deal with the devil and had to write the songs himself? Regardless, the songs lack the memorability of the debut and would fit better on a Tim Burton-inspired Val Doonican album than a metal one. Musically, Tobias has abandoned the seductively vampiric, straight-to-the-point tone of 'Opus Eponymous' for a sugary, meandering sound that lulls listeners into a deep sleep while emptying their wallets. With more in common with late 60s Californian pop than metal, Tobias has crafted the beach party soundtrack for the Munsters, desperately awaiting Charles Manson's arrival. Surprisingly, the second half of the album is stronger, with the 60s pop swagger of 'Jigolo Har Megiddo' being a standout, as is the atmospheric 'Ghuleh', which, despite its silly lyrics, adds some depth to the album's overall superficiality. 'Year Zero' sees the band effectively using a cheesy Beelzebub chant before returning to the laid-back 60s vibe of 'Body and Blood'. 'Depth of Satan's Eyes' is as ridiculous as its title suggests, sounding like The Doors on a bad trip, but strangely has a certain charm amidst its droning organ and Tobias's crooning. The album concludes with more 60s Satanic shenanigans on 'Monstrance Clock', which, despite overstaying its welcome, is a fitting end. For those with the bonus tracks, they merely drag the album back down to mediocrity and aren't worth the extra cash.

• Warped Album Confusion

  3 out of 5 stars

  I'm absolutely in love with this album, but for some strange reason it's warped? None of my other records have done that. No other clear ones, none whatsoever. I store my records properly (standing up in boxes) and this one was just the third from the front. It might've come warped and I didn't notice. Anyway, I'm really confused about that.
