Lead singer and mastermind Dan Swano said that he would be taking a hiatus until 1999 after this record and it looks like the rest of the band is following suit, so what better way to keep fans tided over the next two years than with Infernal (well, a North American tour would be nice). The sixth full length release from these Swedish metal masters is one of their best works to date and incorporates the different musical styles that they have used throughout their recording careers. For example, "Helter Skelter" sounds liek early EoS with an emphasis on speed and almost black metal-like vocals, this time tackled by guitarist Andreas (Dread) Axelson and not a bad job at that. Then there's more moody, clean vocal approach from their latest releases Purgatory Afterglow within the song "Loosing Myself". There isn't one death metal growl in the entire song yet with the band writing tighter than theirlast few releases it comes off as an unmistakable EoS classics. The reason for this apparently is that Peter Tagtgren of Hypocrisy and The Abyss fame did the production leaving Swano and the crew to concentrate 100 percent on the music, and it shows with one of the mroe honest and best recordings of this new year.
