10/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Dying Remains hails from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and this is their first full length, and a mighty one it is. They definitely fit in with the new wave of death metal that's occurring right now, and all the hallmarks are there - straightforward brutality mixed with heavy groove, chunky riffs, and a nod to the bands who came before. They keep it heavy and keep it groovy, and this is what makes them great. It's just good, solid death metal with few frills. The vocalist has a mid-ranged hybrid yelled growl and it helps to set this band apart from the imitators. This shit crushes everything in its path with stomping riffs and mid-paced violence. Some of the grooves remind me of Dehumanized, but with a less New York approach if that makes sense. This is a perfect death metal record, and you won't find many of these new bands that are this good. This is a monumental effort, and one that belongs in any death metal collection. I know it will be in mine.
