I'm just starting to get into metal and I wasn't exactly thrilled, but I chalked this up to inexperience. This is a more focused effort in the sense that there isn't a hodgepodge of sub-genres present, but boring in that there isn't enough variety to pique my interest. I think Wolvhammer's EP (Rich With Bloodfuel) was much better and more interesting. I also think that Wolvhammer sounds an awful lot like Coffinworm only not quite as good. Just my 2 cents. Thx for the great review. I agree w/ you John. I’m just starting to get into metal and I wasn’t exactly thrilled, but I chalked this up to inexperience.

The Nachtmystium comparison was an example of a band mixing black metal with various other styles --- in terms of the consistency of that mixing of styles, the bands aren't similar. I do think that some tracks on "Black Marketeers of World War III" show more sub-genre influence (particularly BM) than others, but overall there isn't that much variation track to track. Wolvhammer definitely have the potential to really stand out. This first album just doesn't hold my interest as a whole. You’re right that Wolvhammer are more consistent on their album.

I think this album has a very distinct sound and presence in the metal scene. I think they take just enough of the BM edge in their music to make it gritty, sludgy riffs/hooks to give it a nice groove and goth textures to make it sound darker in some spots. That Nachtmystium album was a hodgepodge of styles that didn't flow through the album, but this is more cohesive. Album rips, dude. I totally disagree with you.
