8/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This is the third full length from Finland's Scythrow, and a mighty third album it is. It's a mix of the Scandinavian and American styles of 1990s death metal - a refreshing mixture, I must say. It's a seamless blend that winds up being more than the sum of its parts, a unique sound amidst the mediocrity of many other releases today. The album is full of heavy-ass riffing, and the band knows when to turn up the speed and when it break it down. The vocals are well-articulated with a lot of serious power. Each song has at least one devastating riff that strangles your pathetic ass and won't let go. If the band has changed at all, it's because they found their true sound, and I can't wait to hear more from them. This metalist is now a fan.
