9/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Infernal Thorns comes from Chile, and they've given us their third full length of fast, blasting death metal that attacks remorselessly and constantly. It sort of reminds me of a cross between Krisiun and Destroyer 666, perhaps with some Pentagram (Chile) influence. There are tons of intense and memorable riffs as well as proper versus and choruses, making the songs stick in your head, as well as earworm vocal patterns. The dueling growls at the beginning of "Desde el infierno" are a good example of this, even though no lyrics are involved. You will remember that part. The musical performances are pristine and the arrangements are intense. The guitar solos are mad, chaotic, divebombing affairs that don't slow the songs down. They're full of sweeps and even melody at times. The pedal never comes off the floor with this band except to toss a monster groove at us here and there at strategic points. Deicide is also clearly an influence and you can hear it in the vocal pattern at the beginning of "Implore Me." This record is total fistbanging mania from start to finish, and worth picking up. Buy or die!
