Description

Limited picture disc Dimension Zero came into being in 1996 when the guitarist Jesper Stromblad from Swedish metal juggernaut In Flames put together a side project that would allow him to pursue some his more aggressive musical interests. In May of 2002, Century Media released ‘Silent Night Fever’, a much longer, and more developed album from the band then the debut. Stromblad drive the album with lightning-fast riffs, infused with dynamic harmony treatments and occasionally clean, arpeggiated breakdowns. Drummer Hans Nilsson matches the intensity with double-kick finesse and precision that are impressive to say the least. Jocke Gothberg's (ex-Marduk) death metal screaming also figures very prominently in the Silent Night Fever mix. While such relentless vocal work can often overwhelm music of this kind, everything coalesces on this, the group's first full-length effort, making it one of the better Swedish death metal releases of 2002. Highlights include the murderous ‘They Are Waiting to Take Us’ and ‘Until You Die’ but all nine songs in this collection maintain an equally high metal standard. Track listing: 1.
