Album Notes Darkane: Lawrence Mackrory (vocals); Christofer Malmstrom, Klas Ideberg (guitar); Jorgen Lofberg (bass); Peter Wildoer (drums). Recorded at Dugout Productions, Uppsala, Sweden in 1998. The first album by Swedish thrash/death metal combo Darkane shows the band still working out the specifics of their potent sound. The hyperfast tempos and straightforward, ripping guitars have more in common with American thrash, but the slightest hint of extreme Scandinavian death creeps in to push them into new territory. Singer Lawrence Mackory, who left the band after RUSTED ANGEL, has a voice that can sing a deep tombstone growl or a less imposing roar, and the guitars will occasionally break into brief power-metal style soloing. Despite the quest for identity, this remains a confident and powerful debut.
