Customer Reviews:

TOP QUALITY MELODEATH, AMONG THE PIONEERS!.......2005-11-19

Although In Flames and Dark Tranquilty are actually the true major pioneers of Melodic Death Metal; this album was the ONE that made everyone realize what Melodic Death Metal was all about. It started an abrupt introduction to the Sweedish Sound, yes Gothenburg Metal!!! This album is like the Godfather of Melodic and Metalcore bands. It revoloutionized the sound of a new age of metal and an era that is still evolving. This album was just an unexpected and as well as a tremendous influence in the metal scene. This album is a must OWN!!!

A grand album gets modified..........2003-01-27

So here we have it once more the notorious "Slaughter of the soul". Beeing one of the most defining albums of swedish death metal, this album is kind of a must have for any metalhead worth the respect. When i first heard this album(that beeing the original version) i was amazed about the effect, of the songs beeing so short and intense. The second thing hat surprized me was when i first got through the album, i was as eager as ever to hear it once more. Because all the way through it it NEVER had one dull second. It was simply a killer album, that blew me away. The album variation was very good with some mood enhancing interludes mixed in between the songs. In all the original album was made of the finest of the rwaw intense and brutality you would expect from only the finest within the genre.
Years passed and one day i stumbled across the album once more(i really wonder what keept me from buying it all this time) in a limited edition version with these 6 bonus tracks. Consisting of the amazingly extreme "captor of sin"(Slayer cover), the nice litle "Bister verkligheit"(No Security cover). 2 demo tracks(Unto otheres and sicide nation) beeing even faster and even more furious than the album versions, adding a good deal more to the allready great album. Then again we have an outtake from the album sessions named "the dying", beeing a classic At the Gates track it also adds some more flavour along with the last bonustrack called Legion.
the only thing standing between this expanded version and the ultimate rating is that, allthough good the bonustracks simply ruins the big picture of the original album. Making it allmost impossible tho listen trough the album ande the bonus tracks.
In my opinion the bonustracks would benefit more on a seperate disc.
