E-FORCE - Evil Forces

(Seasons Of Mist)
After a van accident that could very well have been fatal and an acrimonious split with Voivod, Eric Forest has re-couped to the point of recording again. Going under the moniker E-Force and re-building in Montreal, Forest's new band is a dual, differing animal, as witnessed by a stage show that is Phobos on crack, but a studio session that is wholly inspired by Mercyful Fate (it seems 'Curse Of The Pharoahs' is now known as 'Forest Of The Impaled'). Evil Forces is death metal to be sure, definitely cool for fans of latter-years Voi, and straight-forward enough to appeal to rogue thrashers who got put on a weird, schism-like tangent somewhere along the way.
