Vader - Litany

I don't quite get why so many people call this one of the best releases of 2000. I see it as a brutal slab of death metal, but I also think that if it weren't for the loudly produced double bass, the guitar would sound relatively innocuous. It doesn't do enough for me on its own, but the good drum work makes the album pleasurable to listen to. These guys are legends over in Poland, and from what I've heard it seems more advisable to check out their earlier material, because this music is a bit simple for my liking. The "mosh" riffs sound too much like something Metallica would come up with. Also the album is quite short, and with the lack of songwriting prowess and the similarity of the songs, I don't see this as particularly worth buying unless you're a die-hard Vader fan.


Vader - Litany 6.5/10
