Perdition Temple - Edict of the Antichrist Elect


Perdition Temple
Edict of the Antichrist Elect
2010 Osmose Productions
Alright, Angelcorpse is again defunct, but guitarist Gene Palubicki is not. In addition to Blasphemic Cruelty (fronted by Alex Blume of
Ares Kingdom), he's also got a two-man project called Perdition Temple. Gene handles everything except for the drums. Those, he leaves to Terry Eleftheriou. Terry played drums for Angelcorpse towards the very end of their existence. He's also been in bands such as Embrace of Thorns, Naer Mataron, and Gauntlet's Sword. Obviously, he's very much in demand, and if he's playing on something of Gene's, he's also damn good. The eight songs on this album are probably about what you'd expect... blasphemous death metal with an extremely strong lyrical content. Lots of killer riffs and solos, and more speed than you can handle. But it's all tempered with good song structures, and nothing ever seems out of place or gets drawn out for too long. There's no wasted space in any of the tracks, no pointless noodling or "wandering around lost" as I like to say. So really, all is well with this album. If you liked Angelcorpse, you'd do well to pick this one up.
