CD Reviews

Could have been good

C. Ratchford | 08/02/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This album is really strange. 60 something tracks...Most of which are useless sound effects which could be an intro to a song. The tracks the band actually plays in are great...for about a minute, when they abruptly stop, and resume the sound effects. The songs could be really cool, if the band would just play them. The audio sample you get is basically the whole song. I recommend not buying this."

Blakkheim's Menacing Soundtrack

Bill Lumbergh | Initech | 12/02/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Anders Nyström is a creative force when it comes to Scandinavian metal. He formed the highly influential Katatonia, but he also came up with plenty of ideas on his own with his one man project Diabolical Masquerade.

After 3 great albums - Ravendusk in My Heart, The Phantom Lodge and Nightwork - Blakkheim gave us his fourth and final album under that moniker, titled "Death's Design". The album itself was supposed to be the soundtrack to a movie that was never made, but even without the movie ever being produced, "Death's Design" gives us 20 dynamic movements that defy a single genre. While each movement may change direction, it still retains its consistency by being a successful make-believe soundtrack, not unlike Ulver's Perdition City.

While Diabolical Masquerade may be no more, it has surely ended with a powerful swansong that captivates the ears."
