Melodious death metal riffage,
Soilwork-esque vocals and hooks aplenty; it’s no real surprise to find that thrashy quintet
Los Sin Nombre hail from Sweden. ‘Blind Leading Blind’ still has plenty to offer mind, even if there’s little here that isn’t already being done in an increasingly oversaturated melodeath market, and with the occasional leap into territories more familiar to
Lamb Of God fans than Gothenburg fanatics, these Swedes could well find themselves appealing to a surprisingly varied audience. Pleasant instrumental ‘Passing Through’ and galloping tub-thumper ‘Taker Of Innocence’ provide particular highlights on an album that perhaps promises more than it delivers.
