Man, isn’t that gorgeous?! At length again a Death Metal album that is wild and brutal in a different way without exceptional playing merciless blastbeat orgies. BA’AL stage their acts accompanied by an intro and outro else wise. The tracks are played fast through and through and glisten with cleverly arrangements and fluent structures. The guys out of Erfurt (Germany) just know how to set a tuneful course to the aggressiveness and how to deal with the speed to keep the energy constantly high. By this BA’AL fires out Death Metal clacker of the modern school one by one. Very cool is the uncompromising oneness Confusion Of Tongues is presented. The priorities set by BA’AL let each song show up like all of a piece. It sounds skilful how the two axemen egg each other on with their riffs. As variable the tracks on the fourth release are played, as variable the growl-, yowl- and roar-fronter Julian Fink runs the gamut’s rungs. Who this five guys sound like? Bolt Thrower is mentioned in the press flyer, but the mix of Amon Amarth and Bloodbath fits much better. But damn sure Confusion Of Tongues sounds like the Rape Of Harmonies studios. This seems to be a damn hot address when one wants to carve his stuff in brute harmony. This stuff should be joined by every Death Metal fan. And those who would like to enjoy more BA’AL stuff can resort to the back catalogue. Besides the two EP’s since 2002 the frist full length release The Lilith Complex caused quite a stir.
