Don’t you sometimes wonder how some bands are able to keep finding the energy and creativity to go on and on\u00a0and still\u00a0craft great music? Yeah, yeah, I know that some\u00a0bands\u00a0die completely inside and that they\u00a0keep doing it because it’s all they can\u00a0do, but\u00a0I’m talking about those bands who simply keep up the\u00a0good work.<\/p>\n

When I received the promo files for\u00a0Illdisposed’s 14th\u00a0full length and read in the\u00a0accompanying promo\u00a0letter that this album also marks the\u00a0 25th anniversary for the Danish melodic death groove waltzers, I thought two things:
\n1. Thomas, this is it, you’re really old now – I feel as if their debut came out like, what, ten years ago?!
\n2. It’s amazing how Bo Summer and the rest of the Illdisposed crew keep the steam up after all these years, still churning out riffs that are to die for, and still remaining true to their unique sound.<\/p>\n

Because Illdisposed are in many ways a unique band. When they first appeared on the Danish scene (ten, no, wait, 25 years ago), their style was like that of no one else in this wee country. They became known for their barrage of riffs and\u00a0their almost-but-not-quite Swedish sound\u00a0as well as\u00a0their\u00a0majestic\u00a0and extremely headbanger-friendly\u00a0groove. They simply waltzed like none\u00a0other on these\u00a0shores, and it remains true to this day. As a band, they\u00a0spiced up things by\u00a0being totally void of respect, even towards each other.\u00a0The scandalo-metre peaked when\u00a0three\u00a0members of the band supposedly ‘made out’ on a couch after a concert in Australia in 2006. Whether that’s true or not, I can’t tell, and I honestly don’t care\u00a0– what’s more important to me is that since the impressive debut,\u00a0‘Four Depressive Seasons’,\u00a0was released in 1993, Illdisposed have consistently delivered the brutally grooving\u00a0goods. Looking back, the highlights for me have been the before-mentioned debut album, as well as ‘Submit’ (1995), ‘1-800 Vindication’ (2004) and ‘Burn Me Wicked’ (2006). I have to say that ‘Grey Sky Over Black Town’ fits right into the\u00a0group of Illdisposed’s strongest albums.<\/p>\n

Relying for the most part on a fairly straight forward brutal groove as we know it from the early part of their career, Illdisposed have also included a few more (modern) black metal trademarks than we are used to, which, I have to say, isn’t a bad thing. Check out You’re an Angel of the Light’, which has that Emperor eeriness to it. From the Rain has some of the same feel.<\/p>\n

That said, there’s\u00a0also a piano (!) nestled into\u00a0the intro for My Flesh is Sealed.\u00a0Not sure, but I think that the piano is a first for Illdisposed. \u00a0There are also\u00a0 lots of references to good old heavy metal and hard rock along the way, typically use to add an extra touch of melody and variation.<\/p>\n

Unlike the use of the piano, it is not at all a first that Illdisposed deliver\u00a0a crushing combination of brutal groove and melody, and praise the gods for that. This is another album Bo Summer, Jakob Batten and their merry fellows can be proud of. Horns up! Go listen as soon as you get the chance!<\/p>\n
