7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Southern Lord finds another gem with this Hedonist release. This is solid death metal in the ancient Scandinavian style, from Canada, but without the chainsaw guitar sound. Fronted by the most brutal female vocalist I've heard in a long time, with guttural vocals being her go-to style, deep and nasty, this will remind anyone of old Amorphis, Entombed, or faster Grave. This isn't an issue. The riffs are good, the playing is tight, and the songs are catchy as fuck. I bought this based on Southern Lord's previous success with Black Breath, hoping for more of the same, and I was pleasantly surprised. I can't say much more than just go check this out, and if you like your death metal old, decayed, and dirty, this is the album you want.
