Reviews

Incredible. I'm enjoying this so much I'm having trouble stopping to write the review.

..ok, I think I'm ready. Mesentery's "Blood Rain" was good. Not great, not terrible, not mediocre, just good. "Everlasting Hate" quickly became one of my favorite metal songs ever, but the rest of the album, while well-crafted, kind of ran together.

But this ... what a difference! It's like hellbilly deathrock with a dash of post thrash. Actually, forget what I just said -- it's KICK. ASS. METAL. to the NTH. DEGREE.

Production-wise, "Behind Windows" is one of those rare gems that's beautifully mixed but somehow sounds like it's being played live. The drumming is tight, as it was on "Blood Rain", the guitars are harsh and fast and appropriately dirty, and the songs demonstrate a much greater sense of effort put into writing them.

If I have one complaint, it's the vocals -- the singer sounds like he's in high school fronting a garage hardcore band at times. Otherwise this is a true underground masterpiece from my favorite Jamendo metalers -- shame it's so short.

NICE WORK!
