CoC : Myrkskog - Deathmachine : Review

Myrkskog - _Deathmachine_
(Candlelight, 2000)
by: Paul Schwarz (8.5 out of 10)

Attacking their craft like rabid beasts, Myrkskog succeed in producing one of the most explosive, fast and mechanistic black metal records, which is unsurprisingly strongly death metal sounding. With a chunky mountain of hard and complex drumming as its backbone and electrified walls of sheer metal guitar its tools of destruction, _Deathmachine_ slices and dices the likes of Dissection, Hypocrisy and Immortal, digests and then violently vomits forth its own steaming concoction. Crushingly powerful and with only a few minor drag points in its thirty odd minutes, _Deathmachine_ is not only a convincing step, it's also a possible stepping stone to something truly incredible.
