Dethklok

   I got the non-bonus track version of 'the Dethalbum' by Dethklok.  This is basically the soundtrack to the American TV show "Metalocalypse".  In the show the five band members go around doing death metal related things (Like recording an album in a submarine).  Though they advertise themselves as a "Death metal" band they are very much on the side of "Melodic Death Metal" (Though they don't really conform to all the trends of the genre).


1 Murmaider - 9.5/10 Second best song on the album, sick intro, and the rest of the song is great, heavy, great main riff,
2 Go into the water - 9/10 Nice intro, Nice riff,  LISTEN TO THE GUITAR, Slower
3 Awaken 8.9/10, Everythings there.
4 Bloodrucuted - 9/10 - Shortest song on the album.
5 Go fourth and die - 8.7/10 Tiny guitar solo.
6 Fansong - 9/10 Great Chorus, Heavy.
7 Better Metal snake - 9/10 The first time I heard this one I didn't like it but now its one of my favorites, the chorus is very good, Very good vocals.
8 The lost vikings - 9 Drums are good.
9 Thunderhorse - 9.5/10 Some of the best vocals on the album. Great guitar work.
10 Briefcase full of guts - 8.5/10
11 Birthday Dethday 8.8/10
12 Hatredcopter - 9.5/10 Best song on the album, the vocals are slightly different, clean singing mixed in with the growl makes it a very good song.
13 Castratrikron - 8.5/10
14 Face Fisted - 8.8/10 Heavier then the one before and after it.
15 Dethharmonic - 7/10 - Stars off different from any other song on the album, but gets good at the end.

The album flows well and manages to be melodic death metal without being completely manufactured and trendy.

Album score  8.8
