| | CoC : Swordmaster - Deathraider : Review |
 | | Followers of Swordmaster since their obscure debut EP _Wraths of Time_ have come to expect a unique intensity and melody from their material, which has since evolved from ultra-fast fl metal to retro-thrash in the space of just two releases. |
 | | To say that tracks like "Deathrider 2000" and "Necronaut Psychout" are stunningly original would be an overstatement, but it's undeniable that Swordmaster do possess a certain character to call their own. |
 | | All in all, _Deathraider_ is a welcome reassurance for those disappointed by the mediocrity of _Postmortem Tales_, and serves to remind us that Swordmaster is possibly the most intense, and certainly still one of the best bands in Sweden today. |
