Reviews

DIABOLICUM - THE KILLING SPREE 1.5 - CODE666
With a name like Diabolicum and expressions of extremity aplenty Sweden's Diabolicum might have seemed like a good bet. There was the stylish digipak, mention of an uncensored video and the promise of a a limited edition of 666. What do we get instead? A pseudo-industrial band that moonlights in techno, a cheap footage that comes across as WWF meets Mosad and little else. 1.5 itself refers to the release being one of those stop-gap odds and ends EPs bands put out. Diabolicum is all style and no substance and if you believe that's worth your money, then get in touch for I have an Enron share or two to sell you.
