Revolting - In Grisly Rapture

Reviewer: J. A. Burt

August 22, 2011

Here we are, almost ¾ of the way through the metal year, and Rogga Johansson has only released two albums of his trademark old school Swedish Death Metal mayhem.  A slow year considering the six releases he had his hands in last year.  At this point in the game, three albums into the Revolting catalogue, it almost seems like reviews are really more of a formality than a necessity as most people who’ve heard the other two albums, or any of the Ribspreader albums for that matter, could almost write a passable review of In Grisly Rapture.  You know what the music sounds like here.  Buzzing, speedy D-beat inspired Swedish Death Metal about low-budget horror topics.  This time around, however, it seems as though considerably more thought has gone into the songwriting.  This is undoubtedly the lengthiest Revolting album yet.  Whereas last year’s The Terror Threshold featured a set of shorter songs that never exceeded four minutes, In Grisly Rapture closes in on a 40 minute running time and boasts the band’s longest song in the five and a half minute “(Beyond) the Book of Eibon”.  Simply put again, if you enjoy Rogga’s other work, you’ll find plenty here to be psyched about.  The riffs are tough as hell, and a newly found sense of almost melody permeates the more in depth song construction.  A better album than the Ribspreader album from earlier this year, but for me slightly less enjoyable than the quirkier, more tongue in cheek The Terror Threshold.
