A troubadour doing acoustic country/folk covers of Dismember? I guess most of you are curious about how it sounds. You download a couple of tracks from the internet and well, then you know and don't have to bother anymore. But who is actually supposed to buy this? Dismember fans who also like country? Folk music fans who would like some more morbid lyrics in their favourite music?

Although I cannot identify the buyer, parts of this becomes great music if you are open minded. It is delicious to hear Naima sing "I've tasted blood, now I want more" to a catchy acoustic country piece. The songs are rearranged to the unrecognisable. What can you say about the trumpet in In Death's Cold Embrace? A strange feeling. Let The Napalm Rein is made with violins as an old Swedish folk song. Crime Divine is made as a waltz. It is all fun and well done, but with a very short lifetime.
