For the first time in almost 20 years after the audaciously innovative World of Myths was released, the old Swedish prog-death metallers CRYPT OF KERBEROS will celebrate the band's glorious return with this piece of criminally underrated 1993 re-issue masterwork!
Defying all odds and intently oblivious to any form of musical trend, World of Myths focuses on powerful passages that are so cleverly interweaved with avant-garde arrangements, but never for a moment losing the core aspects of death metal integrity. Two decades have almost passed since the debut release of World of Myths and the formidable mind-boggling musicanship on this album still sounds fresh and exciting even today!
Packaged in an exclusive Digipak CD format with a brand new artwork and layout, the CD booklet also includes live and studio images from the band's active years and with a special liner note recollecting the events that took place during the World Of Myths sessions written by CRYPT OF KERBEROS drummer Mattias Borgh. Digitally re-mastered by Peter Bjargo at Erebus Odora Studio, Sweden (INTERMENT, REGURGITATE, ARCANA, etc), this re-issue edition also includes never-before-released rehearsal demos of the entire World of Myths session recorded in 1992.
Review
For the uninitiated CRYPT OF KERBEROS' sound here on "World Of Myths" sounds somewhat a lunatic mix of "North From Here" period SENTENCED, NOCTURNUS, a slight spot of ADRAMELECH and a healthy dosage of the old school Swedish Death Metal sound. - Metal Observer 4/5
