I Am the Scourge of Eternity

This is the debut from two-man-band Chthonic Cult, and it is a ripping, crushing good time. Standing somewhere in the vicinity of a more epic Entombed, with that signature Swedish Death Metal sound and songs that range upward of the ten-minute mark. Despite the long compositions, the heaviness never lets up, and the songs never drag. This is enjoyable, headbanging stuff that may not be really breaking any barriers, but it is kickass.
