Suffering so you don't have to!

A name like Hating Life can’t inspire too many hugs. The real question is whether Revenge From Beyond is going to make me miserable the right way or the boring way. There’s little room for exploration in Death Metal, especially if you want to cook it the traditional way, which is why I approached this album with some legitimate stomach discomfort. I’m fed up with the same stuff over and over. But let’s hope again.

I usually don’t give much context about the bands we review at MER, but this time is different—and not just because it’s a Swedish band again. Eternal Darkness – Eternal Darkness is a debut that took 35 years to get done. I wasn’t even born when the first idea for it started emerging! And yet, I find out the band has already split. Dead before being properly born—well, it can’t get more Death Metal than that. Let’s get to it!
I discovered Wombbath the way many of us have gotten into old-school Swedish Death Metal in this digital age—through a Bandcamp sale! I checked out a few of their albums and decided they were worth a shot. Needless to say, Wombbath is a pinnacle of consistency. To me, all its albums sit at least at a solid 3.5/5.0. However, there are only so many times you can pull off the chainsaw trick before it chops your arms off. And Beyond the Abyss is here to prove that the band can keep juggling familiar sounds without losing a limb.
