Infesticide / In Obscurity Revealed – Split
Mexico
Blood Harvest
I
haven't heard a good split in a while and this release here is just
what the doctor ordered. Both bands hail from Mexico and play
menacing death metal with an evil intonation. A lot of death metal
bands these days tend to suck due to the fact that they are too
content to regurgitate old styles without adding more emotion to the
compositions, and then label it "old school", leaving
little to be desired. That's not the case with Infesticide and In
Obscurity revealed. These guys are completely obsessed with their
craft and let the devil emanate from their music. One listen to the
material on this split is enough to convince you of the quality of
these bands. Infesticide seems to be one of those bands that gets
better and better with each release, as they kick it up a notch with
the two tracks presented here: fast, vicious and filthy death metal
at its best, with definite echoes of early Morbid Angel (Altars era).
In Obscurity Revealed is no less impressive, melting brains with
their relentless onslaught of bestial riffs, harsh vocals and
hard-hitting drums. All in all, the split is a thoroughly enjoyable
release and once again shows just how passionate those maniacs are
about metal from Latin countries. 16 minutes of pure underground
Death Metal insanity! Highly recommended. (HT)
