Review: CD

Formed in winter 2005 as a trio, Caliber666 soon became a quintet with former Prosperity-musicians. The friends entered the studio with the material they did write during the past seasons, and therefore they did have a supporting hand (or is it throat) by friends / colleagues LG Petrov (Nihilist / Entombed, ex-Morbid, ex-Comecon) on The Worthless, and Matti Karki (Dismember, Murder Squad, General Surgery, Carnage) on Let The Blood Flow.
Opener To The Killing Fields starts pretty slow and firm, yet after a minute Caliber666 show their real face: pounding, powerful and technical-melodic mid-tempo Death Metal with an old school atmosphere and a rough yet intense sound. Both tempo and melody vary, and the song structures too are not too evident / predictable, in spite of not being original. The average quality of the compositions, as well as the performance, are of a sublime level.
Blood Fueled Chaos brings forty two minutes of massive and deep-darkened nineties-inspired Swedish Death Metal, not ‘just’ the Stockholm- or Gothenburg-kind, yet with a rather general vision on the (Swedish) old school. And in combination with experience and professional skills, it is a must for fans of everything between Dismember, Carnage, Entombed, Grave and Desultory.
