8/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Come Back From the Dead hail from Spain, and this is their first release in seven years, a four-song EP on twelve inch vinyl. Previously they've released two albums and an EP, all of which were good. This is blissfully old-school death metal, hearkening back to the roots of this music, with influences that I can hear from bands like Possessed, Death, Nunslaughter, and Sepultura, but adding a modern production as well as influences from across the death metal spectrum, especially the Scandinavian sound. The vocals remind me a lot of L.G. Petrov's early Entombed work, and the singer does it very well. The guitar solos are fabulous if a bit short, injecting a little melody into their sound. The production is warm and perfectly suited to a band that's a bit of a throwback like this one. The drum sound truly shines, especially the cymbals. The ride cymbal pings away sweetly when it's used. The bass guitar is also quite audible and that's unusual in death metal. Each song is quite distinct and catchily written, and this EP is a great introduction to the band if you've never heard them before. This is definitely worth picking up at least digitally.
