Vampire Magazine

Grade: 8/10


Man...this sounds like a perfect combination of Dark Tranquillity, In Flames and Amon Amarth. And they're not even Swedish. No, they're not German either. They're from Denmark, a country that contains some of the best underground secrets. Compos Mentis is yet another band of very high quality. Although they're totally unoriginal, the good quality of the songs make sure you keep your interest (that is, if you're still into the Gothenburg sound, like I am). I don't think these guys can really make a big break in today's music business, they're a little late for that. But it always cheers me up when I hear some of this music. (Stijn)
