RIBSPREADER "Congregating the sick"
CD (Karmageddon Media) 2005
Second album for Ribspreader and new line-up. Dan Swano still contributes to this project (band?), but this time only as a producer (in the first album "Bolted to the cross", drums and lead guitar parts were done by him). Andreas Carlsson is not anymore in the band as well. Only remains Rogga Johansson (vocals, guitars, and Paganizer member) and two new musicians Patrick Halvarsson (bass) and Matte Fiebig (drums). So don't expect big changes in the music of Ribspreader, in fact Rogga has already composed 90% of the previous album. No surprise to see him as the only composer of the whole new album. If "Bolted to the cross" was a "tribute" to Autopsy, "Congregating by the sick" is more "Swedish" à la early Entombed, Dismember, Grave... Rogga have done a great work again and these 30 minutes (same length than the first album) are pure pleasure! Amateurs of old school death metal à la Entombed, Autopsy, Grave, Dismember, Grotesque....this album is for you and if you don't have the first one, just get it as well! A must!!!
