- Good, but not as good as Amorphis' later efforts

Originally recorded as their side of an aborted split LP with labelmates INCANTATION, the six tracks on this record are delivered in a much more brutal death metal style than the material on the Amorphis' successive releases. Yes - it's downright raw and sounding very much in the underground death metal tradition (think early SFU mixed with Sentenced =)). Privilege of Evil gives the band's fans a taste of the early spirit of AMORPHIS.

- raw but good

this ep is only worth 4 stars because it only has 2 new tunes on it, they are as good as those off the karelian isthmus although the recording is not as good. there is also a new vocalist on vulgar necrolatry-jukka kolehmainen apparntly from abhorrence, although i dont know if this is the same band from brazil who recently released their debut.

anyway, there are some good songs here and its rawness makes them a little heavier than their later versions, the cover is excellent and so are the songs, however i would only recommend getting this if you liked the karelian isthmus and want more

- AN UNDER-RATED AND OVER-LOOKED CLASSIC.

This band is better than Dimmu Borgir or Cradle Of Filth. Check out Amorphis and you won't be dissapointed

- THE MOST OBSCENELEY HEAVY THING EVER???

It's close..but you see this is not all blast's yet it still managed to make me have about 300 convulsion's!!

This may be more painful than NONE SO VILE..but both of them are so different..WE ARE TALKING MORE HEAVY THAN SHOULD BE LEGAL!!!!

If you are looking for an exorcisim this may just be the one you seek!!! DONT SAY I DIDNT WARN YOU, PREPARE TO BE MANGLED!!!

You can also find this put together with KARELIAN..which is a MANDATORY combo!! BUY IT TODAY OR REMAIN A POSER!!

WHITE POWER!!!!
