Album Notes & Community Reviews
'The Book of Truth' is a vital stepping stone in the fabled Gothenburg metal scene, featuring future members of In Flames and HammerFall. The debut is a manic, technical beast that balances chaotic, infernal death metal aggression with the embryonic stages of Swedish melodic sensibility.
