"Minister Of Death" delves deeper than before evolving modern day hardcore, destroying all with it's unrelenting heaviness, dark twists of unrestrained melancholy and passion. Incl. free DVD, feat.: documentary "making of", live sets & picture gallery.
Belgium's finest exponents of hardcore return with their sophomore album and follow up to their debut breakthrough and juggernaut "The Pretense Of Normality" with an album bursting at the seams with passion, intensity and unrelenting heaviness. Titled "Minister Of Death", it will bludgeon all 5 senses with it's raw and unique take on the modern day hardcore sound, stretching the boundaries of what hardcore is by introducing delicate nuances here and there of melody, emotion and dark twists along with the more straight forward sounds associated with hardcore. "Minister Of Death" is above all a heavy album, drawing influences from a wide range of sources yet always remaining focussed and soul destroyingly heavy staying faithful to the individual style The Setup created and call their own.
This behemoth of an album generates melancholy and darkness when listening, creating moments of an almost transe like state and yet fuels the fire with it's passionate and anthemic choral chants that will render your lungs dispersed of air and every last ounce of energy released leaving you drained and invigorated from the stand up and fight nature of the lyrics that boil with inspiration. The Setup have raised the bar with "Minister Of Death" and with their blue collar work ethic will spread the word with relentless touring, exposing the world to their dynamic and forceful live show spewing intensity and destruction wherever they plug in and play. Within the world we live in, Fear is the new standard, now "Minister Of Death" spawns that fear. Prepare to be obliterated.
