| Biography: |
WORDMASTER,
which was formed in 1993, was pretty much the band who walked in the front
for the whole new thrash parade in the extreme metal underground. But who
instead of playing the usual old-school metal they unveiled a new face of
thrashy, yet melodic, death metal. Their new album "MORIBUND
TRANSGORIA" takes triumphant death and destruction right to its very
peak, and thrusts the band's sound to a completely more hellish level.
Whiplasher, Nightmare, Thunderbolt & Terror are back! And this time
with a new member - Beast Electric (rhythm guitar). Beast Electric is an
old friend of the band who has a long history within the swedish death
metal underground.
He also joined the maniacs on the "World Domination Tour" 1997
SWORDMASTER

where the band performed together with Dark Tranquillity, Enslaved,
Bewitched, Dellamorte and Demoniac.
SWORDMASTER is well known for its sincere and pure toughness and
dynamicaction-songs. On "MORIBUND TRANSGORIA" the band put a
more melodic sound to create a perfect balance within the technical death
metal - searching for the ultimate aggression of supreme darkness.As usual
SWORDMASTER have used their producer Andy La Rocque, (King Diamond) to get
the right feeling to the metallized inferno."MORIBUND
TRANSGORIA" was recorded in January/February 1999 at Los Angered
Recording, Gothenburg (SWE).

SWORDMASTER "Moribund Transgoria"
Swormaster ha abandonado su estilo thrash para entrar a un estilo death tipo
CENTINEX y de una forma sorprendente, Moribund Transgoria es uno de los mejores álbums
que produjo OSMOSE en el 99 (por que lo mejor en años ha sido el
de VITAL REMAINS). Al apreciar la portada del álbum estaba un poco extrañado y
esperaba alguna desagradable sorpresa, pero no fue así por que la música de
Swordmaster comenzó a fluir de una manera infernalmente agradable. Su primer
tema Deathspawn of The Eibound iniciado con un leve intro ya presagiaba la
descarga musical de Swordmaster que llego a su mejor momento con los tema "The
angels and the masters" "Moribund Transgoria"y "Doom
at Motordome" del mas puro death sueco. El cambio de Swordmaster ha
sido para bien, además el virtuosismo de sus integrantes es impresinonante sobre
todo en el trabajo de guitarras y el trabajo vocal. Su ultimo tema "The
grotesque xtravaganza" va en una onda algo death/viking metal diferentes de
los demás temas por las partes en voz normal y habladas.
