Album Review
‘The Winterlong’ of Swedish Death Metal outfit GOD MACABRE is a reissue of their 1993 debut album. It contains four bonus tracks, 7" demo from 1990 plus the never-before-heard track, ‘Life's Verge’, the first new GOD MACABRE recording in over 20 years. This was the only album and became a not forgotten but fading classic. It’s an intricate and varied album that has managed to withstand passage of time even if it’s rooted in the trend as it was being born. Its rawness gushes, grinds and gnaws at you relentlessly, the slow passages infusing with atmosphere attending to lyrics preoccupation with grief and loss. It’s astonishing that the band didn’t have a long life and perhaps all the more it can be treasured for it. The ‘never-before’ material blends into it smoothly. A must have for any Death Metal fan.
