This is some decent Death/Thrash from Sweden. What holds it back a little are the vocals which are "OK" but lack any kind of punch – it's a raspy style of Thrash vocals that's relatively decipherable, but pretty much monotonous and that gets boring after a few songs. Musically this is diverse for the genre – the faster parts are pretty standard but what sets this apart from the crowd is the slower, more "melodic" (for lack of a better word) passages. Those convey a rather dark atmosphere and really set the mood that you'd associate with the satanic artwork. Throw in some good Heavy Metal-ish old school solos and that makes for some pretty cool stuff. Infernal Earthly Divine is a bit uneven and has its boring moments, but there's enough good stuff in here to make it worth a look.
