Album review: Combat Noise - To the Heart of the Battle (2023)


Combat Noise - To the Heart of the Battle

Cuba

Independent
 

Combat Noise is one of the oldest (and also one of the first) death metal bands from Cuba. The band has been around since 1995 and has released a number of demos and full-lengths. The latest album “To the Heart of the Battle” is a truly excellent offering of bludgeoning death metal in the purest sense. The band’s straightforward approach is reminiscent of bands like Bolt Thrower, Cannibal Corpse and Morbid Angel, although executed with pure passion. Just imagine a more bestial version of Cannibal Corpse, but with war themes. The compositions are well thought out and show a level of experience that can only be achieved by musicians who have been playing music for years. “To The Heart of the Battle” comes highly recommended for fans of death metal, especially those curious about the Cuban scene.
