INFERNAL MACHINA

Simply, Jannick Top is not a good composer. He writes a few interesting lines, throws in a few rehashed patterns from the 70's magma albums, then he'll draw out the same theme for much longer than necessary. The introduction was very promising, but the rest of the album does not live up to the expectations. Not even Vander's drumming can save this one from a two-star rating from me.

This is a highly overrated album in this site, though Jannick is not overrated as a performer. The album does have some enjoyable moments, but not enough to offset the tediousness and call the album as a whole "Good".
