BIOGRAPHY:
The band split up in 2001. However, they did perform at OHM-Fest06 on June 24th, 2006 and back again in 2007....“From The Midst Of The Battle”, a strong comeback –album from these Finnish metal freaks, is now released on Bullroser Records.(The band started working with their new material shortly after their comeback in the end of 2006, and now the results are here! The new album could be described as Metal, with a capital M. Melodic, thrashy death metal with blast beat parts, great guitar solos and killer riffs, not to forget strong lyrical aspects. The whole package is very professionally produced with great sounds and nice cover!)(http://www.holymetal.org/)







REVIEW:(Street Corner Queen)
Spine-chilling black metal, rock, rap, reggae, all on one CD? Is this a Relapse sampler? No, it's the first full-length from Finland's Cornucopia of Musical Styles, Deuteronomium. At first listen, this is an extremely unfocused effort combining all of the aforementioned styles, sometimes in the context of one song, which proves to be messy and undesirable. Let me state loud and clear that these guys are unashamedly metal, but in an effort to be (overly) original goop everything up. The clean vocals, both male and female, have got to go, as well as all of the cover artwork. And the title?!?! Not the best, despite the implication/storyline behind it. Overall, there is a prevalent mix of black metal, Detritus - like vocals, and a Xysma-like rock attitude. Let me also say that this is original, creative, and all the rest of it, but man, if I want to hear rap and reggae, I sure don't want to hear it from some white guy in Finland, know what I'm sayin'? Very mixed emotions from this one. If they could put out a focused black metal release it would be godly, because they do THAT style exceedingly well.










REVIEW:
(From the midst of the battle)The legendary Christian death metal band from Jyväskylä is back on the road with new album and new European Tour..Formed in 1993, the guys of Deuteronomium have been around for quite a long time. After having a split of 6 years from 2000 to 2006, now they strike back after signing a new contract with Bullroser Records and feature this From the Midst of The Battle( What you are going to find here are cutting riffs, a powerful work in the drums pushing the lyrics sang raw by Miika Partala, and in general good doses of old death metal for nostalgic and newcomers equally. Try to listen to the introductory Fields of War or to Defending the Faith (in the most pure Christian death metal stylemetal has been tenuous at best. The most enjoyable experience I ever had with the scene was with Ukrainian folk black metal band Holy Blood’s superb album Waves are Dancing, and that was pretty much the beginning and the end of it,But Deuteronomium, a band name as difficult for this heathen mouth to utter as, “God is my super extra awesome funtime pal.” Evidently, From the Midst of the Battle is the band’s third album, and their first full-length in nine years. As one might assume, when I signed up for a dash of Dooternomnom I was not aware that they (quoting from their Wikipedia page), “had a notable role in creating the Finnish Christian metal scene” almost a decade ago. Did they really? Do tell! I did always wonder who started that hugely popular brand of music. Sarcasm aside, all I knew was I had a Christian album with bad cover art to listen to, and, man, that didn’t bode well. After the cheesy gunfire opening of “Fields of War”, I was taken aback. Deuteronomium plays a thrash/death/black metal combination that is pretty damn enjoyable. The first three tracks, “Fields of War”, “3:16”, and “Defending the Faith” are very good. Their appeal is varied; “Fields” is a pretty standard death metal track with an interesting melody, and “3:16” is an effective use of black metal influences, while “Defending” is a rollicking, catchy traditional/thrash song. From there, however, things start to sour a little. “Song of the Saved” has boring riffs and an annoying shouted refrain, and “Lost Indeed” is largely unremarkable. “Hail to the King” is back up to par with the first three songs with its “Washington is Next!”-esque riffing, but the next two songs return to being either irritating or just plain decent. The final song, "Tales from the Midst of the Battle", however, is awesome. It's over 17 minutes long, and the kantele makes a brief appearance. Hell yes. The gradual shifts in riffs and transitions from peaceful moments to the hard buzz of ass kicking are all there, just as you’d expect. The melodies, the female vocals that only make an appearance on this song, and best performance from all of the band members all come together in to make a song that blows away everything else on the album. When I walked away from From the Midst of the Battle, it was always “Tales from the Midst of Battle” that would stick in my head, including the angelic delivery of “He lives again… He lives again”. Deuteronomium has its flaws, most of which rear their ugly heads when the band strays too far into thrash territory, but From the Midst of the Battle is a very solid, respectable output. Anyone whose favored weekend activity is devouring flesh of a messiah should drop whatever they’re doing right now and purchase the hell out of this album. Everyone else, on the other hand, can have the assurance that it’s a worthwhile listen, regardless of religious affiliation..Anyway This is an album we know many death metal fans have been looking forward to! Finland's most active Christian metal band took a break many years ago, leaving tons of fans beggin for more!In 2006 the band did a reunion concert which finally led back to the band returning to the stage, writing new songs and playing more gigs.This is the most pure death metal CD ever heard from Deuteronomium, mixing melodic death with the heavier, oldschool and brutal style(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
