Death & Insanity (Remaster)
Remastered digipak edition with 4 live bonus tracks and new liner notes.
"Released a mere year after the chaotic Tales Of Terror, Death & Insanity comes as a surprise. Beautify mastered, & still chock full of interesting riffs, Death & Insanity brings a lot of promise to the table.
Well the production as previously stated is a major improvement over Tales of Terror, the rhythm section is easily heard, and the guitars have a nice clean crisp to them.
But the music has improved as well, but has been slowed way, way down, except Suicide which is as fast if not faster than what occurred on Tales of Terror. This album has a more ’controlled’ feel to it than what previously occurred, but it still keeps the energy that they had before. The riffs are a little more complicated this time around, but have a great vibe to them, the thing I personally dig is Obituary, a small thirty second acoustic piece which shows a lot for the group’s progressing maturity. The solos are a plenty as well, needless to say David Stuart does an excellent job this time around. Percussion as well has taken the controlled route, but keeps right along with the riffs produced by Stewarts. Bass is improved as well, no longer is there the off and on quality that plagued us before. The bass riffs essentially fit right in with the overall good vibe. As for Anderson’s vocal performance he’s shifted into a far different territory as well. Long gone are his banshee wails, he’s now using the lower near growling vocals he used half the time on Tales of Terror. Lyrically speaking, that’s the one thing that hasn’t changed much at all, it’s still the horror influenced lines we heard before, but less cheese & more maturity.
On a final note, I liked this, it was a great album with a good vibe & great riffs. Something worth listening to every now and now & again." - Metal Archives
