On this third opus , Bethlehem plays without the use of much distortion . Although some of the riffs could sound a little strange , it is still very much appreciated by me . They have adopted different combinations of vocals for each track , but it is disappointing to say that they don't sound as pained and tortured as their last album (maybe because Landfermann is no longer with the band) . Instead they have hired a crazy woman who weeps , wails , screams and moans . Very delightful to the soul too I might add ! The drummer did his part well along with the abrupt changes in the tone of the music , thus highlighting this album even more . My personal comments would be that Bethlehem is definitely one of the most under rated bands in the underground today & they most ceratinly deserve much , much more than what they are getting today . If compared to Dictius Te Necare & Dark Metal , S.U.I.Z.I.D is definitely
much faster & a progression into what the future of Bethlehem holds .
House Recommendations : Good album
