(SYSTEM SHOCK)

Another minor masterpiece by Vader. As they are always able to keep their standards high, they release "Kingdom". A record, which is rather an EP than a normal LP. It contains 3 new tracks [Creatures Of Light And Darkness", "Kingdom" and "Anamnesis" (Masterpiece!)], a video clip of "Incarnation", a re-release of Breath of Centuries", as well as two remixes (Unfortunately!). of two older tracks, the "Inhuman Disaster Mix" (inspired by "Heading For Eternal Darkness") and "Quicksilver Blood Mix" (inspired by "Carnal"). Unfortunately, I listened to these tracks and they were pitiful cover versions with electronic beats! That answered my question about their having released a new LP so quickly, just after "Back to the blind". I don't suppose it took them too long to release this. Fortunately, the "bastard" songs are only two, as the rest 4 ones (as well as the "Incarnation" video) are killers! If you have a computer which supports multimedia, the video is an additional reason for you to buy "Kingdom"… The decision is yours. Buy at your responsibility…

PS: The grade is so low because of the remixes. A raver would rate them with 10/10 I suppose…
