"I was anxious to hear what the new album by these death metal veterans would sound like, so I grabbed it at first glance in the store.....I must say that I like this release much better than the material on their previous album "Reduced to Ashes", mainly because the song structures are more strait-forward and punishing than those on the afore-mentioned. To me it sounds more like something from in the days of "Gradually Melted" or Trading Pieces", but still retains all of the progression they have made in their musicality. The drums are a fine slab of brutality alone, and are more up-front in the mix. Eric Lindmark still incorporates all of those sinister, warm-sounding chords in the guitar work. All in all, anyone wanting an album that will have them trying to figure out all the song structures for weeks should pick this up immediately. Hail "Deeds" once again.....!!"

"There should be alot more reviews for DEEDS OF FLESH. I can't beleive one of these reviewers claimed this was a boring CD. I think this release is very intense. I also enjoyed THE MARK OF LEGION as well. The musicianship is unscathed and has commanded percision.



If you like Death metal, this is the epitomy of it. Don't let the uneducated metalheads steer you wrong, just buy this and see for yourself. If you're really that picky about this genre, then there shouldn't be one complaint about CROWN OF SOULS. It's brutal, plain and simple. These guys have been around for a long time, and I hope they keep keepin' on."

Increadible

"Deeds of flesh are one of the most underrated bands in death metal, which is a crime in and of itself because they are so good. Crown of Souls marks the return of deeds in a most brutal fashion, the songs are more memorable then those found on reduced to ashes cd, and are more to the pointwhile still retaining the jaw droping and confusing arrangements that made mark of the legion a classic! The cd overall sounds great, i think the lead guitars could be turned up a little bit more but all in all no complaints. If you love death metal then this should be in your collection!"
