Hands up all of you have already guessed by the title, what type of metal Ouija play ?.


Yes, thats right Death Metal and hands up again all those of you because it's death metal will avoid this like a needle in the buttocks. Yes, I thought so, which is a shame really because if you ignore the death like make-up and the plastic vampire teeth, put the image of devil worship and satanism aside for just one second and open your ears, you'll find death metal still has it's place in metal and if you listen with your open ears and mind, you will hear in Riding Into The funeral Paths one of the finest examples of death metal your ever likely to hear.

Ah yes, but what about my soul and internal damnation for listening to such music. Well, get a life, is what I say, lets face it we have all seen horror films countless times and read horror books. Stephen King has made a fortune out of it, so whats the difference, death metal is horror put to music.

The whole thing kicks off with 'When The Sun Shall Die', a very moody atmospheric songwhich makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up and prepares you for the horror to come. 'Crossing The Seventh Gate', sees Ouija turning it to full power and by the time 'Unbridled Transylvanian Passion' kicks in your hooked. Hooked on Ouija's own special brand of Death Metal.

The pace remains fast and furious throughout 'Riding Into The Funeral Paths' without ever losing it's purpose or direction, the vocals are varied, something you would expect from death metal, while the musicainship is of the highest standard.

Quality, they say, is the key to success, well if that is the case then 'Riding Into The funeral Paths', should sell by the bucket load. Ouija have created a must have in 'Riding The Funeral Paths' and whether your a saint or a sinner, add 'Riding Into The Funeral Paths' to your collection as soon as possible and let your god go with you.
