Weapon is a Canadian Death/Black metal band whose music takes more twists and turns than the big one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. With brutal goodness flying everywhere you feel like you’re in bedlam. When you get past the fact that it as noisy, as a granny being run over by a jet plane. You can see just how talented extreme metal musicians are through a combination of speed, aggression and ‘The Dark Arts’ to conjure up a work of art.

Digging deeper into into the strangely album entitled From the Devils Tomb, we stumble across some strangely titled songs such as ‘Vested in Surplice, and Violet Stole’, ‘Vortex – 11724,' ‘LEFTHANDPATHYOGA’ and ‘Towards the Uncreated.' From the Devils Tomb relates a death metal sound; the kind of stuff you would find on a Carcass, Entombed or Napalm Death album. On the other hand, we get the screaming/chanting black metal side thrown in, which gives this album a completely new face. The vocals fit perfectly to the music – making it sound as haunting as possible with minor guitar riffs, satanic chords and some of the fastest blast beats I have ever heard. It all fits together like a gigantic blood-stained jigsaw puzzle, making Weapon one of the best bands to write and perform experimental music that actually works.

In between the heaviness and darkness of the songs, we stumble across odd phrases and bridges which seem more melodic compared to the rest of the album. 'LEFTHANDPATHYOGA,' 'Sardonyx,' 'Vested in Surplice' and 'Violet Stole' are perfect examples of this. These songs have an extreme (Face rubbing along a motorway) side, but also a more thoughtful and deep edge that shows not all extreme metal has to be heavy to be fucking awesome.

When an album that is an hour long consists of the same blast Beats, riffs and chanting phrases you can definitely get bored of listening to this album all the way through, which is unfortunate as each song is very good if you listen to your Ipod on shuffle. In order to keep each track unique, Weapon needs to keep their back catalogue dynamic.

On the whole From the Devil’s Tomb is a very good album. It shows just how talented and diverse black and death metal can get. Unfortunately, the fact that a lot of the riffs and verses sound the same. With only a bit more development, From the Devil's Tomb could have been one of the best extreme metal albums ever!
