The songs are almost totally interchangeable and Ercument sounds raw without either growl or sing clean. We\u00b4re not about to hear ballads, but biker fare with a penchant for death seems like a fair description. They grind and go for your throat, with Antek bashing his skins as violently as BILL WARD once did. \u201cSecond to None\u201d feels a good metaphor of their heaviness, but not of their imagination. Perhaps the speech and sound effect track is an attempt at imagination? &#8221;Calamity Circle&#8221; is a tad different, but nothing eyebrow-raising. It is also mitigated by the one-dimensional vocals. Some bells in silence are refreshing, probably an energizer break. Because GENERAL CHAOS builds up steam, no matter what you think of their performance. They move for Death\u00b4n\u00b4Roll in \u201cSwedeheart\u201d, and it works better than many other mixes on the album. . They are nevertheless very often repetitive, as in \u201cIncessantly\u201d or \u201cPowder Monkey\u201d. Unfortunately they seem to have used more time conceiving the tag line \u201cMOT\u00d6RHEAD screws PANTERA while ENTOMBED watch\u201d than making the album.<\/p>\n<p>Track List<br \/>\nSppech<br \/>\nBlack Belt<br \/>\nSecond to None<br \/>\nTrailer<br \/>\nScreen Berets<br \/>\nKingsize Overdose<br \/>\nCalamity Circle<br \/>\nSwedeheart<br \/>\nIncessantly<br \/>\nPowder Monkey<br \/>\nBlack as Disease<\/p>\n<p>www.cyclone-empire.com www.generalchaos.de <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cyclone Empire\/Sound Pollution Henrik Bache &#038; Flo Mueller (ex.
