Kingdom Of Fear is the fourth full-length CD from the Swedish death metal band In Battle. Its members include vocalist Odhinn Sandin, guitarist Hasse Carlsson, bassist John Frölén and drummer Nils Fjellström.
The songs on the album are mostly really fast and intense death metal with influences of thrash and black metal. There are tons of blast beats and a flurry of shredding guitars. In Battle does slow the tempo down a little bit from time to time, but quickly resume the breakneck speed.
Sandin's vocals are angry death metal rasps which are reasonably understandable. The band plays with a ferocious intensity and can be very technical, but they also have the versatility to be a bit more groovy. Kingdom Of Fear has enough variety and different influences to rise above the sea of generic death metal that's out there.
