The middle ages were some of the most brutal times around. Plagues, wars, and almost every form of torture imaginable (and some unimaginable) taint the annals of its history. Baalsebub, purveyors of ugly slamming brutal death, look no further to showcase horrific acts of human depravity. Amongst their weaponry are such diverse elements as: tremolos, a pingy snare, ruthless vocals, an almost fanatical devotion to the slam, and nice red uniforms. It isn't the most original stuff in the world as the songwriting sticks to the tried and true, and the production may be just a tad too clean, but it's nevertheless a well-executed record, pulling off the style with seamless proficiency. All this said, The Sickness Of The Holy Inquisition is an absurdly fun slam death metal album, and if that sounds as good to you as it does to yours truly, get on it. Needless to say, this was definitely the surprise. Why? Because NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!
