A review by

In terms of style, Illdisposed is a mid-tempo, groove-death kind of band, with steady percussion and rolling guitars, reminiscent to Bolt Thrower (and hey, they even have a song called "Throw Your Bolts" here). This kind of death metal can get really boring if not done properly. Luckily, there are enough memorable melodies and killer grooves here to keep us interested all they way through, and when the band feels that perhaps their riffs are becoming too monotonous, they usually stick some keyboards, a sample or even clean vocals (courtesy of Mercenary's Mikkel Sandager) into the mix to spice things up. There is also a clearly noticeable sense of lightness and humor here, which is quite refreshing. Illdisposed are well aware of the features of death metal that people might find funny and they often take jabs at them, to great effect. The vocals, for example, are frequently downright ridiculous-sounding. It's great to see a band in this genre willing not to take themselves too seriously.
Burn Me Wicked is probably not going to make it into anybody's "Best Of" lists this year but it is nevertheless a very solid and genuinely enjoyable death metal release.

I have heard of this band through Panzerchrist, whom I like quite a lot. Quite a nice review too. I'm wondering though, how come it didn't get a rating? It says N/A under 'rating'.

I dont rate albums anymore because then all that people care about is the rating and not the review.
