The wide appeal of this album probably doesn't extend outwards forever though, I can see many a death metaller finding little challenge or interest here: although sparingly employed the female cleans may induce retching (though I thought they were rather excellent) and the pristine production and predilection for melody far outweighs the old-school brutality which only bears a skin deep significance and you can't overlook the fact that this has been done before in some shape or form (though rarely better) but in any light these minor dents and the fact it could have perhaps been a little longer have minor lasting impacts in what it is a thoroughly nourishing and varied number especially if you long for Crimson III or are a general fan of melodic death metal (of the more literal, non-Gothenburg variety in this case) with a bit of depth. The most exciting prospect of Slakthus Gamleby though is its potential for growth; the improvement from the previous record is easily discernible and you just know if another one ever materialises it could well be something extra special.
