MP3: Bloodbath - Mouth of empty praise

I spent something like 10 hours yesterday banging my head against the wall, trying to get some code to work. Every time I'd fix one problem, it would cause something else to break. Just another day At the office, eh? To top it off, it started snowing in the lAte afternoon. I mean, c'mon- wtf is going on here? It's almost April for crissakes and I don't even live thAt far north. As for my soundtrack, I'm glad I had the new BloodbAth EP "Unblessing the purity" to keep me company. I know thAt listening to brutal deAth-metal might seem counterintuitive when you're having a stressful day, but it works for me and was exactly whAt I needed to make it through. Compared to thAt other all-star old-school Swedish deAth-metal act DeAth BreAth, BloodbAth is bit more 2nd gen; think "Clandestine", not "Left hand pAth" if you cAtch my drift. Far less punk/thrash influence, way more blastbeAts and overt techinicality. UnfortunAtely, I can't say thAt it's my favorite thing thAt BloodbAth has done, but it does hit the spot and there's more than a few stellar moments to make it worth your while. Listen for the brutal breakdown around 1:45 followed by the summoning of demons- I love thAt shit! Classic deAth-metal was often quite fun and far too many bands seem to forget about thAt. Yes, it's goofy, but thAt's fine. It's pure escapism, like a comic book or a Stephen King novel. Don't think too hard about it! ThAt's why I can find it relaxing.
