One Man Army And The Undead Quartet - Grim Tales


















This review is likely to be very unbiased seeing as I think they're one of the best bands ever and love all of their songs. All of them. Anyway, this is One Man Army And The Undead Quartet's (or OMAATQ) new album, Grim Tales. When I first heard that they were releasing a new album I read it would be released in 2010...so to find it like a month later was a ...slight shock. I was also kind of scared it wouldn't be very good, after all, is it really possible to produce 3 amazing albums in 3 years? Apparently the answer's yes. And lucky for me, even the artwork was fucking awesome. I've always thought OMAATQ have the best artwork ever, though no one seems to agree with me. Unfortunately, I've only managed to obtain the promo of the album, so once or twice in a song I'll get a voice cutting in saying "Your listening to a new promotional CD that's property of Massacre Records" it's pretty fucking annoying.

For those familiar with the band, the album still got the same fucking awesome vocals as before, however this time, the album has just become...so dam groovy. That's right. Groovy. You get the slow yet epic songs like “Make Them Die Slowly”, while songs like “Bonebreaker Propaganda” has one of the best riffs I've heard in a LOOONG time. Generally In the album you've got everything awesome to do with OMAATQ that you could possibly want. All the songs are pretty unique In their own right, and all have something that someone will like. Almost guaranteed. The album seems to largely revolve around death, suicide etc., which I personally think is awesome, with songs like “Death Makes It All Go Away” and “Date With Suicide”. For those however who don't really know who OMAATQ are, they're a death/ thrash metal band founded by the ex-vocalist of The Crown. I would tell you some similar artists to them, but their too ridiculously unique.

I'm giving this album a FUCK YES. Because it might very well be my album of 2008 ( better luck next time Children Of Bodom...). If you're into death metal, maybe thrash, that sort of stuff, check these guys out, I don't see regretting it as a possibility.
