Reviews FEAST ETERNAL - PRISONS OF FLESH - OPEN GRAVE
This is a re-release of the album originally released in 2000 plus an added bonus of two songs presumably included to give a taste of the full-length planned for release soon. The music comes along as a less structured version of Bolt Thrower although this may owe more to the thick guitar sound than anything else. The vocals of TJ Humlinski are standard death metal growl. 'Messages' and lyrics such as 'Lord heal me again....By you alone I swear my life, the living God' are certainly out of place here and one can not really define this as death metal, though the music certainly is, if not ground breaking or original, one form of death metal. On the two newer songs, Serpents Proclaim and Rage Of Angels, the trio has taken a slight turn towards the Scandinavian and has presented a clearer production therefore exposing a clearer impression of their style. On closing it should be pointed out again that while one can certainly appreciate the music lyrics like 'Kingdom supreme...The power of Christ is life' do not fit the musical or vocal presentation. - Anna Tergel
