7/10 CRUSHED FUCKING SKULLS
Canada's Display of Decay have returned with a five song EP of their patented brutal death metal, replete with catchy riffs and intense song structures. This is their first release in three years, and they've gone independent with it for now. There's plenty of technical playing here to sate the appetite of those who crave musicianship in death metal, but there's also plenty of brutality with powerful breakdowns and well-crafted riffs. I hear quite a bit of Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus in their sound, but they're delivering it in a way that's all their own. The guitar tone is crunchy and heavy as fuck, and it really delivers a punch in the face where needed. The production itself is clean and sounds like a proper modern death metal production without being too sterile and digital-sounding. The band also understands the importance of hooks and groove, of which there is plenty. The vocals run the gamut of growls, gutturals, and screams, and are quite diverse overall. It's quite the performance. If brutal death metal is what gets you wet, this is a record you should hear, and a band you should get to know. It's quite talented stuff.
