Illvilja - Doden LP (gatefold)
Blew me away as a highlight at one year's OEF, these Swedes contain M40 members but have their own spin on dbeat/crust, bringing in more blackened aspects. This second album from them is a real onslaught when they kick in, the two vocalists trading lines that gives it a nonstop anguished quality. Anthemic breakdowns and guitar melody/harmony at times, but they're just too nasty for stadium crust.
Gatefold sleeve, with 24 lyric/art booklet, nice
