After
their first demo in 2018, the band returns from the cesspool of
exhumation with this dark and evil debut album in the final and
chaotic year of 2020.
Relentless death metal practitioners fueled with great technique and insane fury. They also show us a strong influence of Black Metal and even Thrash Metal in their compositions. I read that many didn't like the sound of the drums. It's true that the production isn't the best, but are they sick in the head? It sounds really beastly and it's the right sound for what the band is proposing to us. It's underground, not overproduced shit. At the end of the day, I think this is the sound we like the most. In my opinion, the battery is like a machine gun. The drummer fires all the time with that killer snare, and the bass does its job very well, amplifying the power of the sound. The riffs are sharp as a sword. There is a lot of technique in their execution. The music is very well thought out and accomplished. Everything has meaning and they are always trying to connect the parts of the song together so that they explode along with the other instruments, while the slow parts are incorporated with melodies expressed as disturbing laments from beyond. For fans of Dead Congregation, Cruciamentum, Grave Miasma. (Catacombs Walker)
