| Over the past months, death metal fans had nothing to complain about. 
              Thanks to releases from some promising new bands as Morbid Angel, 
              Morgoth, Autopsy and Obituary.
 Nevermind, because "Evil" Chuck 
                with his men obliterate all threat to their reign as the undisputed 
                Kings of the music they created. 
               "Spiritual Healing" presents a 
                band that has learned through the years, that the necessary loudness 
                isn't only reached by brainless noise and puked vocals, but a 
                constant developement of the own style is a necessary condition 
                for constant success. 
               Okay, DEATH may not be the speediest 
                combo on earth anymore, but songs like "Altering The Future", 
                "Spiritual Healing", or "Killing Spree" still offer the full sonic 
                barrage you have come to expect, but songs are far more interesting 
                and varied then on the first two albums. A very big NINE.
