Mortalicum - The Endtime Prophecy (Metal on Metal Records)

"The Endtime Prophecy" is the second full-length album of the Swedish heavy metal band Mortalicum and it is a very interesting hard-rocking album with doom elements! "My Dying Soul" is an amazing start as it kicks in with great riffs and vocals by the band's frontman Henrik Hogl. It is followed by the quick paced songs such as the "Revelation Within" and the "Devil's Hand", as well as full-of-heavy-riffs songs with the best example being the song that gave its name to the album "The Endtime Prophecy". "When Hell Freezes Over" adds a heavy-doom sound to the album that can also be heard in the groovier "Embracing Our Doom", while the pace slows down for the "Ballad of a Sorrowful Man". The album closes with the fitting song "The End" wrapping up a captivating entry for 2012!
