Synopsis

Album Description
One of the all-time great death metal bands has returned! Midvinterblot is the SPV debut for Sweden's Unleashed and is truly the strongest effort of their storied career. While most bands in the death metal genre are content to simply blast away into oblivion, Unleashed meld extremity with well-played, memorable riffs and lyrics, always with their trademark Viking theme. Midvinterblot is a 15-track barnstormer that crushes the unwary listener with catchy choruses and an unmatched balance of brutality and accessibility. This album is positioned to become one of the very best death metal releases in recent memory and the world shall soon be reminded why Unleashed have earned themselves the title of "The Motörhead of Death Metal". They're just that good!
 

CD Reviews

If you like Unleashed, you'll love this one!

"I have been a fan of Unleashed since 1992, and in my opinion this is their finest offering to date! If you are a fan of metal I suggest you give this album a listen. Johnny, Anders, Tomas, and Fredrik have gone above and beyond with this one, it is their cleanest sounding album yet, but still with enough growl to get you out of your seat. They have conquered Europe with this album and it is the number 1 rated metal album in Germany. Unleashed hits the shores of America to start their tour on February 7, if you are reading this then you must see them live, I promis a show you won't soon forget. Also see their web page at [...] for more information.

"I am realitively new to this band and I only have their previous album Sworn Allegiance. I liked what I heard on that album so I was excited when I heard about the release of their new album Midvinterblot. When I popped it into my cd player I was blown away. What they have created on this album is everything that Sworn Allegiance was but more.



This album is much much heavier and faster than its predecessor. As mentionend in other reviews, the vocals are much better and the guitar riffs are muc more metal and sinister. Unlike many older bands today, Unleashed continue to get faster and heavier and stick to their roots unlike bands like Metallica and others who seem to experiment more.



Pick up this album if you like fast swedish death metal because these guys definatly deserve the support!!"
Almost perfect!!!!

If you ask a fan of Unleashed what is their best album, probably they respond: "Sworn Allegiance", but if you looking for their most complete, don't look further, this is it!!! What a monster of an album!!! Johnny on vocals never sounded better than this, and the musicianship is tight as always, but here is on top form, anyways this album is the return to form of this swedish death metallers. Believe, try a spin on this, this is without a doubt one in the top five albums of the year!!!"
