Maybe I've got psychological issues, but I simply cannot stand this album. Asphyx sounds like they are trying to be halfway in-between Obituary and At The Gates with the slow, grinding music and the Svenskå distortion. The music is, to me, completely trite and unengaging. There is very little variation and nothing leaps out at me as being original or exciting. I literally fell asleep listening to this. Save your money and get something from Morbid Angel or Death. Review by: MikhailKonstantinov A good old school album from this pioneers of death metal. The Rack is an epic album that showed that slow paced death metal with melodic solos is still very brutal. Review by: Decapitiser Ý can only some words about this album=BEST DEATH METAL ALBUM FOREVER!....REAL BRUTAL DEATH METAL!!!!Ý dont know any words! Review by: Beyto For the person who doesnt like this album, their definitely must be something wrong with you. "The Rack" is one of the most Brutal, Raw, Barbaric, Heavy, Hateful Death Metal albums ever, just listen to Martin Van Drunen's vocals, it sounded like he was being tortured throughout the recording of this masterpiece. This is what Death Metal is and should be just plain BRUTAL!! Asphyx R.I.P Review by: evil Really not that good, the drummer sometimes drums like an amateur, to say the least the sound is not the best either, van Drunen is good like always but on the whole it's benevolently said only a little bit better than average, partially it's not even that Review by: Arghn The rack is the greatest death metal album of all time in my eyes, in the realm of dark and brutal death metal nothing comes close, hail van drunen, Hail Asphyx Review by: beauofdeath I first heard this album when it came out in 1991 because I was curious what had would come out of this little recording studio in the village where I lived, Losser. It absolutely blew me away with it's intensity, originality en heavy doominess. The vocals are heavenly (although you can discuss about the accuracy of that word in deschribing death metal) brutal. After 15 years, this album still stands the test of time. I lend to all newcomers in the death metal scene who never heard of them, coz with this album Asphyx set the standards. There's no use in comparing them with a Morbid Angel or a Death (killer bands in their own right) in my opninion, this album just keeps getting better.
