Ramesses - Baptism of the Walking Dead
This may well be one of my most precious EPs I own. This is Ramesses at their best. It's mysterious, dark and above all skullsmashingly heavy. Ramesses begins with a quote from the famous Christopher Lee horror flick Dracula A.D 1972. Ramesses' vocalist Adam and at the same time bassist, deserves a special mention. His deep death growls and evil snarls add so much to the general mood of this EP. He sounds like the ultimate misanthrope, who calls upon all evil to emerge (just like Johnny Alucard) and enslave the weak human race. There's no laid back hippie bullshit to be found here. Nothing but the deepest contempt for humanity and the worship of all that is ugly, filthy and misanthropic. The artwork is stunning and contributes highly to the overall feel of the EP. Fans of old horror classics or of the sabbathian riff need this NOW! One of the best of 2009 and a personal favorite.

OMG!! The ending part of the third songs tells a lot of those musicians' great capabilities .. i was caught right the fuck in to be honest! I had been told by people on the net about them in the first place and wouldn't think of them as anything better but the average doomish act at first --> BIG MISTAKE : thanks for sharing :D
