Reviews For "Overlord"

by tombie on 4/23/2009

Temple of Blood's sophomore album "Overlord" is ten tracks of fast, furious, blazin' metal at it's finest; oh, and an intro.... So let's give this thing a spin. The first track 'Descent into Treachery' is just that, an intro. Track number two 'Behind the Inverted Star' starts off this album with total metal mayhem and doesn't let off until the end. Track three, Summon the Accused, is not as fast as the first but rocks just as much. I like this song and notice a slight 'Iron Maiden' vibe to it. Track four, Fearsome Warrior, has some thrash elements to it that just make you want to bang your head until it falls off...yeah! So far this album causes me much pain, must bang head! 'Illusion of Control' is the fifth track, and they are not letting up a bit! This song is another mosh injected neck breaker, though not as fast as the last. Track six 'Black Day of Execution' is a slow doomy song that is actually kind of boring...Oh well, my neck needs a break. Mosh time! Track seven, Pawn of the Liar, takes us right back into tremendous pain with the pedal to the metal! This song is just insanely fast and will activate mosh pits all across the land. Track eight is called 'Harbinger' and also has some sweet fury. This is a great song, it starts off at break neck speed, slows down to just about the point of clear vision and then takes off again....yeah! 'Forbidden Evil' is track nine, which has kind of a Megadeth feel to it. Must...bang... head..ahhhhhhh! Ok, track ten, Anthem of the Unseen; this is a slower, doomy, uh, well, an anthem...yeah. The last track, The Return, is another blazing song that is sure to make aspirin a profit. This song ends the album the way it started.
So all together, this is one smokin' album, though not intended for the faint of heart or anyone with neck injuries. This is a great album and I highly recommend it.
