If you’ve heard the first advance track from the album, you’ll have a good idea of what to expect. It’s as if the band, in the throes of a possession, succeeded in opening Pandora’s box, loosing upon the world, through the sounds of mutated death metal, a torrent of bat-winged and brazen evils, never to be sealed again. The music boils like an overheated cauldron of unchained creativity, un-tethered to trends and un-bowing to conventions. The ever-twisting-and-turning compositions are ecstatically exuberant and the performances technically bewildering. The six songs on Teufelsbücher are asylum dreams, hellish visions of menace and madness that also relentlessly challenge the listener’s own sanity. The stateliness and solemnity of those moments is at odds with nearly everything else that comes after, and yet its mystifying grandeur is in keeping with the magnificence of the insanity that soon ensues and never really relents until the grandiose and sorcerous extravaganza of “Necromancy and Torment” brings the album to a close.
