9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Iron Fortress Records does it again and brings us yet another top-notch death metal act. I heard half of the first track and bought this immediately. This is groove-heavy death metal, occupying a sort of middle ground between the older death metal sounds and modern slam, and it's incredibly heavy. The singer has strong, deep, growled vocals that excel at carrying the violent atmosphere. In every song are memorable riffs and room-thrashing breakdowns of monumental heaviness. The guitar tone is super-heavy and full of crunch but also very clear. There are elements of hardcore here, but they manifest themselves as good songwriting and incredibly powerful breakdowns that are seamlessly interwoven into the death metal. It reminds me of the '90s bands I love but with an added dimension of heaviness, and is 110% attitude, extremely aggressive. Just do yourself a favor and check it out.
