Rating: 7 Swedish fish out of 10
I know this isn't anything new to most people, but let it be said: Sweden and heavy metal go together like peanut butter and jelly. Strawberry OR grape jelly, your call. And I'm not just talking black metal with it's church burning, face paint and general goofiness...there has been a real push lately towards what I call “rehash metal”. By this I mean bands that adhere closely to the very first metal bands from the seventies, before it was even called heavy metal really. Two of the greatest bands of this style, Witchcraft and Graveyard (both Swedish of course), have already been getting some recognition Stateside. Now you can add a third member to this group...Blowback. If you like Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, heavy riffs, pounding drums, and straightforward, high quality metal like many of us grew up on, you'll be hard pressed to do much better than this band.
