8/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Once in a while I come across a band that should be signed but isn't. Now, that may come down to them wanting to control their own destinies, and I respect that, but I feel like a label would be able to push this record into some hands that wouldn't grasp it otherwise. Blackened death is the name of the game here, with attack riffs galore. It's excellent stuff, intense with machine gun drumming that cranks up the velocity just right. There are many melodic leads and some dueling guitar solos, and they're all good. The riffs themselves are a pure fusion of black metal and death metal techniques, melded for intensity and perfect flow. This is a band for guitar fans, mark my words. There are even some memorable vocal patterns in "Architect of Atrocity" and "Graveline," and this is the sort of thing that elevates the record above the mediocre efforts in the scene. This is worth tracking down, even if it doesn't have a physical format yet, it will not disappoint. Plus, you'll support the band directly, obviously, through Bandcamp, which is always a worthy cause.
