Enough Fanzine
"Very powerful math-rock inspired guitar music...well performed and worth checking out!"

Product Description
Written in Black, like their debut, These are the Secret Sounds of Fear, reflects White Circle Crime Club’s schizophrenic view on music and recording. They are aware of the history of punk and new wave but, at the same time, are eagerly willing to destroy and deconstruct what makes these genres so boring. While the aforementioned EP couldn’t quite capture the live feel of the band, Written in Black provides at least a glimpse of the noise, energy and sweat that this band is all about. Written in Black is White Circle Crime Club more outspoken than ever, with the right amount of hooks, subtlety and youthful energy – tight at one moment, sloppy the next, but always brilliantly honest.

5 out of 5 stars One of America's great songwriters.......2001-03-09

Amid the Cole Porters, Irving Berlins and George Gershwins of the world, Harold Arlen tends to be forgotten. And yet, when the greatest song of the 20th century was recently voted on by a distinguished panel of critics, whose song came out on top? Mr. Arlen's (Over the Rainbow). Here is a superb cross section of Harold Arlen songs by a cast ranging from Judy Garland to Bing Crosby to Ethel Waters, spanning decades and spanning a wide range of styles, from jazz to ballads, poignant to funny. Although the sound is not ideal, as many of the recordings date from the 30's and Pearl's objective in remastering has always been to achieve the fullest musical sound rather than to reduce surface noise, this is a minor complaint given the rich and mind-opening selection of great music found here.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing Death Metal........2006-03-13

This was the CD that introduced me to Soul Reaper, even before I ever discovered Dissection. Every song on this CD is a five star rating. I place these guys right up there with Vital Remains, old Morbid Angel, Suffocation and many more. They sound (to me at least) like old Morbid Angel from the Altars of Madness era, mixed with more technicality to the songs. Killer vocals and one hell of a tight band. These guys do not sound sloppy ... anywhere. Don't pass this one up. Check my review for their other CD on Amazon, Liferazer, also a five star Death Metal masterpiece. Cheers,
Necrosoul.

5 out of 5 stars written in blood... and I love it.......2003-06-12

Yes, this band features members from the well-known DISSECTION!! "Written In Blood" is an essential album for fans of death metal everywhere. There is more 'death' involved here than found in "The Somberlain" for example, which is why I probably enjoy this somewhat differently, if not more, than DISSECTION. Black metal can be great, but death metal I love most. So, buy it now and play it loud!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Crushing.......2000-08-02

What happens when former members of the mighty band Dissection unite? You get one of the most fierce, crushing, awesome death metal records. Fans of Dissection will like this, fans of death metal will love this. Get it now, the review above is a bogus review and just hurts the whole Amazon rating system.

1 out of 5 stars Hmmm...........2000-06-13

I'm 13 and getting into metal and black metal and I saw this and it looks interesting.

If anyone could tell me more about this cd e-mail me.

5 out of 5 stars An excellent exploration of Arlen.......1999-07-20

Julie Wilson offers another masterclass performance of songs by Harold Arlen with his numerous lyricists. Arlen's name is not as well known as some of his contemporaries, but his talents as a songwriter were magnificent. Julie Wilson and William Roy mine the Arlen songbook to produce an album of sterling quality, delivering delightful duets on such gems as 'Push De Button' and 'Lydia The Tattooed Lady'. Wilson offers brilliant readings of ballads and rhythm songs, capturing the mood and flavour of each song perfectly. Her sensuous take on 'Last Night When We Were Young' is particularly compelling. Roy's piano embellishments are, as ever, full of wit, sensitivity and formidable musicianship. A stunning offering.

5 out of 5 stars fascinating, multi layered performance, never boring.......1999-03-15

no matter how many time you listen to her, you'll hear something new each time. Julie Wilson is the consumate cabaret singer.

        5 out of 5 stars sick debut.......2004-02-12

        arson... one of the greatest new metalcore bands out there. this first ep is a bit different than lacerate the sky, its got a different singer who is BY NO MEANS anywhere CLOSE to anthony ezzi in terms of goodness. he sounds like a mix between the guy from snapcase and the guy from the agony scene. so the vocals are a con compared to their other album. but its made up for in music, because alot of this record is more melodic than lacerate, and ive got a soft spot for melodic guitar a la gothenburg death metal. best track on this one is definitely the title track and avoid the sun.

        5 out of 5 stars Pure Rock Fury!!!.......2003-10-13

        oh yeah!! Arson comes out strong! I advise you to immediately purchase this album as it kicks more butt in 2 minutes that some of the nu-metal bands do in 3 or 4 albums. Straightforward lyrics, balls-out guitar, and killer drum and bass make for one of the best metal/hardcore albums I've heard in recent memory.
