5/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
We have here some morbid and obscure death metal that reminds me a little of the Swedish sound, but without the chainsaw guitar distortion. The vocals are cavernous, which is a quite popular thing to do at the moment, and the words are unintelligible. Which is ok - they don't have to be. This is wonderfully underproduced and a bit raw, with a bit of mud in the production, which I really like. There are a handful of good riffs on this record, some that zig when I thought they were going to zag. That's an unexpected treat. The problem, though, is a lot of these songs just blend together, with very little to distinguish them from one another. The same guitar techniques are used in most of the songs, leading to similar riffs. I think it's the constant tremolo picking that's at the heart of the issue. Overall, this is just ok stuff, and we've heard it all before.
