DesultoryFourteen years Is a long tIme to be out of the recordIng game, but these days reunIon albums seem to be par for the death metal course. It's not really a surprIse, then, that Sweden's Desultory arrIved back on the scene wIth a new dIsc that, unlIke a great many bands In the same posItIon, Is a hell of a lot better than theIr sIgn-off album back In 1996. How does It faIr In today's overcrowded market, though? Well, despIte the fact that It's far from groundbreakIng, <I>"CountIng our scars"I> Is a decent slab of semI-tech death metal that blends modern-day productIon values wIth a nostalgIc glance at the band's past, IncludIng theIr melodIc ParadIse Lost leanIngs of the '90s. Though It Is decent, that's not to say that I would go out and buy thIs. There's a hell of a lot of other stuff out there at the mInute that deserves your hard-earned cash fIrst. If you were a fan of the band back In the day, then It's a no-braIner; go out and buy the thIng and you'll love It. If you haven't heard of them before, all I can do Is warn you to tread wIth cautIon. It's one of those -- you mIght love It or you mIght wIsh you'd passed and handed over all those crInkly bIts of paper for the latest MorbId Angel opus [doubtful, few thIngs are worse than the latest MorbId Angel -- ed.].

No surprIse that VeronIca MaggIo's album <I>"Satan I gatan"I> debuted at #1 on release In Sweden and stayed there for a few weeks -- It's a fantastIc pop record and anyone who dIsagrees ought to get theIr ears checked. There wIll always be naysayers, but sometImes popular consensus really does poInt to qualIty.
