6/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This German outfit cranks out strong brutal death metal that avoids the trendy pitfalls of much of today's scene. This is very much in the vein of old Suffocation, but with more guttural vocals. Comparisons could be drawn also to a dozen others, of course. I do hear little nods to other bands in their sound, like the little Nile guitar parts in "Catharsis in Blight." They wear their influences on their sleeves, and that's not an issue. It lets me know they're fans of what they play. Musically, they alternate between fast blasts under ripping, hair-windmilling riffs and slow slam parts that amplify the heaviness. The thick, fuzzy guitar sound reminds me not only of old Suffocation, but also of Tomb of the Mutilated-era Cannibal Corpse. This is definitely one to pick up if you like the brutal shit like I do.
