6/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
This is the third full length from this Argentinian band, consisting of one member who handles everything, L. Warpig Venomous Abominator, which is a mouthful to say or type. Abominablood plays vicious and vile black/death metal that owes a lot of its pedigree to Blasphemy, Conqueror, and other similar bands that we sometimes call "war metal." It's a mixture of dark death metal and blasting black metal with rasping growls. There are some interesting tricks, though, like haunting guitar solos (or perhaps textures would be a better word for these), and generally a more death metal approach to the music. The songs are generally memorable, which is a little unusual for this style. Most bands that play this warring style get hemmed in by speed and brutality to the point where repetition is the only way out. Not so much here. When they slow down occasionally, they get truly heavy with big, open, chunky riffs. I found a lot to like here, and while it didn't shatter me and make me rush out to buy it, it's a good listen. Recommended for those who like the style.
