Madder Mortem's sound, this eclectic mixture of metal groove with non-metal influences was sorely missed during the band's prolonged absence. Ergo, their comeback album was warmly heralded two years ago, because it proves the band has maintained its relevancy, even though Red in Tooth and Claw stands in the shadow of its more accomplished predecessors. Favorite tracks: Fallow Season, Returning to the End of the World. Stream: http://maddermortem.bandcamp.com/album/red-in-tooth-and-claw

Would benefit greatly from a reduction in the number of slow, ballad-esque tracks, but it's still
an entertaining prog metal record with interesting and varied female vocals.
On a side-note: Give BATS back their album name

I’ve never been a huge fan of Madder Mortem. It has been years since the last time I checked out one of their albums, but I remember not really liking them… although I can’t recall why. I also didn’t know that it had been nearly seven years since the release of their last album. Is this a comeback album or do they just subscribe to Metallica’s album release schedule? Again, I don’t know. What I do know is that despite whatever shortcomings they used to have, they got it right on Red in Tooth and Claw. Madder Mortem’s defining characteristic is the powerful (and forceful) female vocals of Agnete M. Kirkevaag that buck convention by eschewing the operatic vocals the metal genre is known for. Instead she simply busts out the melodies. Red in Tooth and Claw is a moody, riffy, dark progressive metal album with a powerful female vocalist.
